Who is this boy??

Jamison volunteered to be my model today as I was playing with exposure and film speed. As I look through these pictures I am a little weirded out. Who is this kid?? He looks way too old to be my little Jamison. On top of that, he's been unusually sweet lately which makes me even more suspicious. Sure, he's a good kid but what 7 year old consistently runs ahead of you to open a door or volunteer to carry heavy items to and from the car. It's been several weeks now with this behavior and he has not requested any toy for his services. Don't get me wrong....I love it but it is .....just different.

After Amy was born and Jamison was just 2 I was visiting with my sister in law. As she held baby Amy in her arms I about burst into tears as I asked her if my life was ever going to be more then a barrage of sippy cups and diapers. She chuckled and assured me that I was indeed in the trenches of motherhood and that it WOULD get better. And it HAS! I love having more independent children. Watching their personalities develop has been amusing and enjoyable. Another perk is that Jamison is a HUGE help. He always rescues Becca from my wrath (or Greg's) at the end of the day by distracting her with potato heads or Elmo. He's intuitive, sensitive, musically inclined, quite obsessive over handball and thoughtful. He's handsome too...don't ya think? Hooray for babies that grow up.

How's that for a bunch of thoughts thrown out there? I feel like that's just where I am right now. A pile of scattered thoughts.
