My boy

Today I will teach him how to push the button and take a blurry picture. Some day I will teach him how to choose the right aperture. 

Today I will teach him how to hold a crayon and scribble a circle. Some day we will be pulling out the watercolors to paint a landscape.  

Today I hold his hand to steady him as he learns to walk steadily through the tall grass. Some day he will be running faster than me. 

Today I will teach him how to pet a kitten gently. Some day...

oh, lets not kid ourselves. This boy will never learn to be gentle.

Beautiful words. You made me feel all "motherly" when I read them.
Beautiful picture, too. :)

Great post! It made me smile.

Yeah, gentleness will have to be a learned quality for Joshua. It doesn't come naturally to him. :)

Beautiful thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
