Look at these jeans:
That is the knee of Elias’ jeans.
When did my baby grow up into a little boy who gets holes in the knees of his jeans? I thought I had a few more years at least!
I noticed in the late afternoon that Elias had a hole in his jeans. When I asked him about it, he really did not want to talk about it. I don’t know if he was traumatized from the fall, or thought I would be mad that he ruined his jeans, or just didn’t care to talk about clothes….but he wasn’t having it. So…it is a mystery.
I half want to keep these jeans forever as another momento of his transition into little-boy hood. And I half am just frustrated that I can’t keep them anymore as a hand-me-down!
He is growing up too fast!
The Jeans hole probably happened on my watch. He fell down twice yesterday while we were playing baseball. Once fairly hard……..As usual he held back the tears and said…”ok its your turn.”
