Ian McLargehuge is 3, and apparently wants to be a landscaper (big pics)

[BigMcLargehuge]

here he is at yesterday's birthday party with his new favorite toy. I can't believe he's already 3. I still imagine him as a little squirming bundle of big eyes and long yawns in the hospital nursery.

Now he can do yard work Just like Papa!

1. You must be very proud...

you are a lucky man. Enjoy these years, they're the best.

[BigMcLargehuge]

2. I am loving every single day

he is amazing. Can't even remember my life before he was born.

:hi:

[MissMillie]

3. Big, he's just beautiful

but don't blink. If you think the last 3 years went by quickly....

would you like to meet my 17 year old? (on edit: he was born yesterday)

[BigMcLargehuge]

7. what is it with kids and time accelleration?

I literally can't believe 3 years have gone by in what feel like three months. It's amazing, and scary. I better not blink too much or hell be grown before I know it.

4. It's a noble profession.

I had a friend who went to school for Landscape Architecture. I think some Ivy League schools teach it you liberal elitist/intelligentsia.

[BigMcLargehuge]

10. I'll have to get him started on Alexander Pope early

so he can avoid the rigid man-defeats-nature style of gardening that's becoming so popular.

Hey, anyone seen Timon's Villa?

5. Send that kid to my house next week.

I can use all the help I can get. :-)

[BigMcLargehuge]

9. he has a lawnmower too

I'll pencil you in the service calendar

[salinen]

6. Yes, underwater landscaping

will be all the rage in 2020's.

8. it's from the combination Jaques Cousteu/Bob Vila collection

:)

11. I have five grand kits. 3 children

My kids grew up in lickety split time. My grandchildren I savor every min. I get to spend with them. If I have to travel 2500 miles to see them I do. Too bad gw doesn't have grandchildren maybe he would feel differently? NAW he wouldn't. It breaks my heart some days to look at them with their faces with smiles and tears but still feeling protected. What is going to happen to them? I wont live to see them finish college. But until then they will feel my love every day.

12. Aw Big!

He is a cutie! :-)

[Don_G]

13. He Must Have A Smart And Caring Dad

I see safety goggles with his latest toy.

[SarahB]

14. What a cutie pie!

My littlest guy is three too. I put this up yesterday.

[BigMcLargehuge]

15. Oh Sarahbelle, if that isn't a Christmas Card image,

I don't know what is!

And DAMN isn't he a little doll :)

Must get that from his mom ;)

[SarahB]

19. That's a great idea.

This year probably isn't going to be the fake, happy family picture for the Christmas cards.
We both thank you for the compliment. Actually, he looks more like me than the others I think. The rest seem to take after their dad more.
:hi:

[BigMcLargehuge]

22. How about this, I'll draw you an intepretation of that image

so you don't have to do the forced happy family card thing...

A nice line drawing of a boy asleep inside the train tracks in front of a christmas tree.

I can do it in software and post it here for you. Think of it as an early Solstice gift :)

What do you think?

[SarahB]

24. I'd be honored!

What a sweetie you are! :)

[GingerSnaps]

17. Both boys are adorable

You need to make that picture into a Christmas Card. Photoshop it with a Christmas tree in the background and put a saying on the inside "May all your dreams come true Merry Christmas".

21. awww, very cute little guys

They do grow fast. Mine is 8 now and will start third grade this year, and I can't believe it. Since the pre-teen years seem to start at 8 now, it is very interesting.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

18. How can he sleep with the train tracks that close to his bed?

he must be a sound sleeper.

[Crewleader]

16. Both Boys are precious SaraBelle and Big

and three is a great age...I miss those times with my son!
They go by too quick! Happy Birthday Ian...:party: :hi:

[sendero]

20. My first born is also named Ian..

.... and he recently turned 14. He's a great kid, even loves the same music I've loved over the years (thanks probably to the internet where he can read lots of people saying that Eno, Bowie, Crimson, etc rule, I know better than to try to get him to like anything :) ).

Yes, they grow up damn fast. And they amaze you with the insights they have.

[saracat]

23. Soon they'll both be voting for Jack Edwards for President!

What adorable children!
