Shokufeh is... home

My grimy little boy

Since the early days of his life, we've joked that MrMan likes to think he's not really a baby. He's not been a big fan of the typical infant position of being cradled on his back.... Before he could sit up, he was always trying to be upright.... Before he could stand up, he was always trying to get on his feet.... It seemed like he was constantly wanting to be one of the big kids, striving for the next challenge.

Today, I saw hard evidence that maybe my son is right, that he's not a baby, that he's a little boy - he was grubby, and I wasn't even sure where the dirt came from. I think dirty fingernails and grimy knees may be an indication that MrMan is growing up.
