Proud Portrait of a Padre- My Son. Who'd of Thunk It??

How do you tell the greatness of a man? 

By how proud and surprised his mother is.  

Quee?? 

If you've lived through your son's Puberty  ::shudder::  you'll agree w/Babushka 100%!!

First, you have this little handful

Who quickly turns into a bigger handful.

Then in a blink of a heartbeat has his own little handfuls.

Who are quickly turning into bigger handfuls.

Bueno mijo lindo, don't know where you got your influence from, but I know your sons will be Big Men.

Gracias for sharing your love and helping raise sons whose portraits you too will share with pride.

Happy Father's Day

And to all of you Beautifuls, may today be a day of happy memories.

Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.

P.S.  To clarify the title- JU SO FONII !!!  

It's not that I ever doubted my son's parenting capabilities, 

it's the fact that he's actually old enough to do it that boogles BB.  

PicaPica turns 5!

Conversation Monday night between PicaPica and his mother:

Mother- "Tomorrow you're turning 5 years old!"

PicaPica- "I know. I'm going to miss you when I'm a grownup."

And so the tone was set. PicaPica is 5 and is now a man.

Si, we know better, but by the way he strutted around on his day you'd almost believe it.

His dad asked him what he wanted for his birthday dinner and he answered "Shrimp- at Red Lobster." Que crees? Pizza or a hamburger? JU SO FONI !!! A man with a man's appetite- nothing but the endless shrimp platter for him!

Of course there were presents, abrazos and lots of cake.

Mom giving PicaPica a hug, "Aw, I remember when you were a baby!"

PicaPica patting her condescendingly, "I know, I know."

He had a wonderful day, and Babushka hopes that he's right- that today will be the sign of what his life as a man will be.

Babushka Besos a todos. Cuidensen.
