Ahhh, how sweet! Can I cybersqueeze those chubby cheeks? What a cutie...mess and all. I don't think boys ever out grow the messiness. I have a 47 year old husband, a nine year old son and a three year old son, all equally messy and equally sweet...thanks for sharing. Jan...hugs, Rhonda

Your comment made me smile Rhonda. The first five lines flowed beautifully but I struggled with the ending and after numerous re-writes I am finally happy with the end result:-) hugs Jan xx
