The first day of school....
and the last day of school....
What a difference in these two boys.
Jaxon, taller. Wiser. Still a boy at heart [trading Pokemon at school...running and playing tag while waiting for the bus]. But glimpses of the man he is becoming [he's got the beginnings of a mustache]. An athlete [scoring another goal at his game this weekend....and an assist....earning the cheers and excitement of his coach and his teammates]. And a scholar [bringing home awards for the "hardest worker" and a medal for excellence in Social Science].
Luke, more confident. The little boy who held is brother's hand the first day, is now holding him close and laughing [while still trying to hide his shiny teeth]. Asserting his preferences [note the "Justin Beaver" hair]. But also wanting to be so much like his big brother [playing Legos, squishes, and Pokemon]. And discovering his own likes [see the Digdug shirt?].
And beginning the first day of summer quietly. All rising at the same time. Ethan chattering to himself in his crib. Jaxon rising bleary-eyed, talking of plans for a new tower at Lego Hogwards. And Luke, a small pile of Biscuit books around him, reading to himself, happily in his bed.
