I just did something really special with these shots that I took of Rowdy this last summer. I'll fill you in on what I did after I have some more details. But I really love the first image. I altered the sign above Rowdy's head to say his name and age. He thought it was pretty cool! I didn't really even notice the "goodyear" sign when I had the idea to do this...but how fitting!
I sure do love this young man to bits! He knows that I am sad that he is growing up so fast. I told him to turn off the oven buzzer the other day, if he could reach it...to my surprise it wasn't even a stretch for him. If you fast forward eight more years he will be asking me for the car keys. Yikers!
I think he and I are alike in some ways. He is an observer like me. He likes to take notes of a situation before diving right in and getting involved. He went to a birthday party recently and when I picked him up the Dad said I hope he had a good time because he didn't want to play any games or anything. I said no, that is just Rowdy, I'm sure he had fun.
He has his Dad's rubber face though.
I had to ask him the other day how to spell a word and he was proof reading my typing on the computer over my shoulder one day.
He blushes and smiles much like this when I ask him if there are any pretty girls in his class at school....
Rowdy James Mama loves you...
