Last night I was rotating my laundry. In mid-dryer-load, Julius came into the room to use the bathroom. I scooped him up into a big hug and was astounded by how tall he has grown. "Julius," I asked him, "How did you get so BIG? Are you going to be a man soon and go away from me?"

He smiled, that deep, brilliant smile of him that lights up from inside. It's a smile that means he likes what someone is saying to him. "No, Mom. I'm going to grow up and be a power ranger and fight bad guys."

I laughed and set him free. Gabriel was hot on his heels and stood in front of me, reaching his little arms up to me. "Me BIG! Me BIG!"
