love in the mailbox

Where, oh where has my little boy gone?


Wasn't it just yesterday that he was two?

I'm certain that it must have been.


And when he was just two, I'm also quite certain that I am the only one he drew pictures for.  My refrigerator could have proved it.

But now?  Now he knows that pictures can be delivered via envelopes.


And that after being stamped, those envelopes go to the mailbox and you put the flag up.

When did he get tall enough to reach the flag standing flat footed?

 
And when for that matter did he get tall enough to reach inside the mailbox relatively flat footed?


In case you are wondering, no, the picture that my "whirling dervish" sat down to create using construction paper, scissors and glue was not being mailed to a grandmother.  Or his grandfather.  Or even his aunt.

"The one with the purse" still gets top billing around here...
Good thing she seems to still rather like him too ~ he got a response a few days later.

Ok, my heart just melted. This is ridiculously, off-the-hook cute.

While Jason was reading this, I heard him say out loud,"What is Caleb wearing? Seriously, what is Caleb wearing in these pictures?"

Pajamas. Doesn't everyone mail love letters while wearing pajamas?
(nevermind that the shorts are on backwards...)

Oh, she's just a doll --- no wonder she gets top billing! What a sweet little boy!!!

Chris said...

How sweet!

And what a complete cutie-pie!!!

I kinda like the backward wearing jammie look!

Awe.. Young Love. So sweet.

cutest thing ever!

Ahhhh, young love! He seems to be quite a charmer. A lady always like handwritten love notes. Although, being the mom of boys, I feel your pain. At least he has good taste!

Oh my! I go and take a blogger break and your little caleb gets a crush. How stinking cute is he :) Will be doing some back tracking to catch up.

Caleb is SO adorable!! Miss Purse is a lucky girl. Caleb is getting so tall. I'd say those PJ's are ready for Daniel.

It must have been the week for young loves.......I walked in to Matthew having his back rubbed by his little girlfriend. I'm so not ready for mail :) But your Caleb is just precious and I must say he has great taste!!!
