Because he won't be swayed from eating the whole fried shrimp, starting with the tail: "Mommy, it's crunchy and good!"
Because when I walk in the kitchen on Sunday morning, he says, "Mommy, you look so beautiful."
Because he loves hugs and gives great ones, just like his daddy.
Because he's interested in whatever, as long as we can talk about it at length.
Because he likes rap music, which we hear at basketball games, as a disclaimer. He will tell me "Mom, I LOVE this song!" and dance like the white boy he is.
Because in a few months or years, he won't be as innocent as he is right now, and I really cherish this time.

We love Kellen too! And you're right, he is very interested in everything. We had some very in-depth conversations about oil drills and wind turbines on the way to granny's house last week (of course, he wanted to climb them).
Sweet post...love the shrimp tail fact...who knows, maybe you have a future food critic on your hands!
What a wonderful post! It's hard not to love his enthusiasm and interest in everything - thanks for the picker-upper.
Just so you know, I've told the shrimp tail story to a couple of people since I read your post the other day. (When you don't have kids of your own, you have to tell funny stories about other people's kids and hope they still like them).
Like what? The stories or the kids?
