Atticus on 1st Birthday

Hard to believe that he is almost twenty months now. Where does the time go? I suppose it’s in a big box filled with hangovers, missed puppies and things I shouldn’t have said. As you know, each moment is a ‘now’ and then it’s a ‘not’. The trick is deciding what stays with you and what fades away. I think it’s pretty clear which things I can dump from the collection. I never cared for hangovers anyway. This kid, however, is far sweeter than a boxful of forgotten puppies. All of his ‘now’ moments are going to be stored very carefully, and I suspect many will be put on display right here. What can I say, I’m a proud papa.
