OLD versus Young

I've come to realize how OLD I really am compared to how young and tough C has become!

It was never a problem for me to wrestle with him and we've always truely wrestled, rough housed and I was able to toss C around. Well last night I started to rough house with C and to my dismay.....*gasp*...I couldn't budge the rhino! I can't pick him up anymore! I can't throw him off the coach! I can't bundle him up in a blanket like a pig! Now the rolls are reversed and he's kicking my arse, *sigh*.

The only advantage I have.....he's still severly ticklish everywhere and heck yea I'm going to use that every chance I get!

Ralph Waldo Emerson was dead on

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Remember C, to be you.  You've made us proud from 1st grade when you stuck up for Jenny by telling the other nasty little girls how mean they were to today spending time shopping for homeless children.  Yes, you've had some "Wilbur" moments along the path but I'm very proud of you and my heart overflows.

What does Rhino do when it's cold outside?

what else play video games!

(i like how both C and Ben are kicked back, feet propped up on the coffee table, the jar of candy between them.....aw what the life of the men in my household....spoiled rotten!!)
