The Bug

Today, allow me to introduce my oldest son.  He's heart-wrenchingly sweet and infuriatingly hot-tempered.  He's curious, smart, and unbelievably observant.  He's affectionate and stand-offish, outgoing and shy, loud and quiet.  He's got a photographic memory, and boy, you should see this kid dance!  He's got a given name, of course, but around here he's known as The Bug.

The Bug likes:  anything with wheels/wings/propellers, granola bars, snuggling during story time, helping Daddy in the garage, spend-time-together days (aka weekends), and Bob Marley.  The Bug dislikes:  authority, any kind of fruit or vegetable, and waking up in the morning (he claims to be nocturnal).

Being his mother has been and continues to be the most bewildering yet amazing thing that has ever happened to me.  I love him so!
