We must be doing something right...

Bryce told me that a few nights ago during Ewan's bath, Ewan wanted to hold the shampoo bottle, but it was heavy and kept dropping in the water. Ewan asked him why he couldn't hold onto it, and Bryce told him it was because his hands are small. He said that Ewan then looked at him kind of sadly, as if Bryce had suggested something was wrong, and said, "But I like my hands just the way they are."

Today, Ewan was particularly lovey dovey with me and kept asking me to hold him. I picked him up and he looked around him as if he was on the pinnacle of the world and asked, "How tall are you?" I said, "Five feet, four inches. Is it fun to be up here looking around?" He said, "Yes." I then asked him if he was excited to grow up to be big and tall like Daddy. He said, "No, I just want to stay the way I am." Just typing about this has me all choked up, and I know he doesn't really understand the implications behind those statements, but, OH MY GOSH, if I could just ensure he'll always feel that way. If I could just make sure he won't ever want to be something other than what he is, and just to be the best him he can be, and to be so happy to be HIM...

Then I will be able to breathe easy and know he will be more than all right.
