Two Steps and a Man

Zac took his first two steps today. It was thrilling, exciting and a bit scary as to what is in the near future! We are going to be running around crazy very shortly! We were at CJ's baseball game, watching a great game in the early summer sun...Zac was standing for quite a while, longer than he had ever before then he did it...took a quick first step then another and then...plop! Right on his bottom. But he did it! Allison and John were there cheering him on! We were all so proud. (CJ's team ended up winning too)

So, last night CJ comes up to me and the following conversation takes place (more or less)
CJ: Mommy, take a look at this.
Me: (not seeing anything) what?
CJ: Look, right here on my elbow.
Me: (not interested and really not seeing anything) Uh-huh...yep.
CJ: No, wait...come look here in the light.
Me: What are you trying to show me? (slightly annoyed at seeing nothing)
CJ: See that, that hair right there?
Me: Uh-huh (but not really)
CJ: That hair is black. The others are not. I am turning into a man.
Me: Yep. (where did he get that from? why is he so concerned? More importantly...) CJ, let me look at that. (wondering, is is really black?)

Upon further inspection (but not too much to show concern) they hair was not black, but I didn't say anything to him. Just a few more "uh-huh's and yep".

My boys are growing up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too fast!
