MY Son

Okay, up until now almost everyone has said Lochlan is a little version of Dad and how much he looks like Mark. Which may or not be true but as of late I have serious evidence that he truly is my son . Alot of people have a sweet tooth, as most of you know, so do I. I also have the habit of meeting that sweet tooth in somewhat different ways. What do you do when you get a hankering and there's nothing in the house? Some eat sugar (some icing sugar)- it's true! not me it's syrup. My old roommate can confirm it. I must confess that I have been caught having a squirt out of the syrup bottle. Recently after a breakfast clean up left behind a bottle, Lochlan was found not having a sip, but drinking it from the bottle! Oh and then there was the honey on the counter which he found with the spoon still in it (tasty) and don't for get a spoonful of PB (everyone needs fat sometimes right?) Too much sugar with no fat just doesn't sit right. Have to say I've done the PB thing too. Hasn't everyone? However, his father does none of the above. So you see.... he really is MY son.

One other thing that's really cute and that my mother would relate to is Lochlan's affinity for picking me flowers. He doesn't pass a flower without picking one for me. Today he went as far as to pick the only bloom from a longstem rosebush.....out of someone else's yard....oops! Mark didn't stick around to see if the people were home. Wonder why:)

Our wonder boy has also really taken to riding his bike lately. He wasn't really interested last summer but is flying along now. With the end of preschool and the start of school in the fall he seems like he's growing up. So here's a few picks of our sugar eating, flower loving, biking ride little man. L
