Mike sent me this photo today. We bought Little Man this t-shirt (“When I grow up, I’m driving a Corvette!”) while we were at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY earlier this year.

Little Man loves playing in Pappy’s Corvette! The kid has some really good taste for only being 2 years old!
September 4th was Little Man’s 2nd birthday. It’s really hard to believe how much he’s grown in the year I’ve known him. He’s gone from a “baby” to a “child” overnight, it seems.
A year ago I’d never changed a diaper in my life. And though I still usually leave that job to Daddy (heh), I have since conquered that and more. Bathtime, books, pajamas and playtime … every moment (even the occasional grumpy one) is a joy and I feel truly blessed to have been able to experience them alongside his dad.
Anyway… Daddy and Miu had WAY too much fun shopping for him. We got him a few little trucks and things, but his big gift was a kid-sized basketball hoop.
Little Man is ALL about basketball right now and the hoop was totally Daddy’s idea. What a great idea it was, too! As soon as he ripped the paper off and saw what it was, he was jumping up and down, exclaiming “Basketball! Basketball!” over and over. Wish I’d gotten that on video.
I did get some video though. Here’s Little Man shooting some hoops!
Daddy: Time for bed.
Little Man: I can’t, I’m playing basketball!
Daddy: But you need to go to bed.
Little Man: No, I NEED to play basketball!
You know you can still hear that theme song in your head.

Yup. Happy 9-02-10.
