Moving Monday

No, we're not moving, but I thought I would title my post with the day of the week.  The only thing moving was watching Memphis open his birthday present he got from my dad yesterday.  It almost moved me to tears!  (ahhh, what the heck, it did moisten my eyes!)  He has been begging for some Slingshot shoes made by Stride Rite.  My dad ordered them for his birthday, which is about 3 weeks away, and they came in over the weekend.  My dad being impatient went ahead and gave them to Memphis.  It was truly a "kodak moment!"  Memphis's little face just lit up when my dad handed him the box.  Memphis immediately knew what was inside the box, he recognized the writing on it and started screaming, "my slingshots, my slingshots!"  He throw the lid off the box and then was ripping the paper inside the box up to get to those shoes as fast as he possibly could.  He got the shoes out and started screaming thank you poppop!  He gave my dad a big hug and kiss and put his shoes on.  He even fell asleep with them on.  It was the sweetest little thing.  It also made me realize how big  he is getting.  He's getting so smart and it's so hard to believe that he is going to be 3 in just a few weeks!  Wow!  Time really does fly when you're having fun!!!!  I love you, Memphis Carter-to the moon and back.
