Larger Than Life

Since he's said it quite a few times, I simply have to add this note to our blog. Ashton has now announced that his 6'9" Daddy is no longer "all that big anymore". Apparently he feels that as he has grown, Dad has shrunken in stature. I tried to explain to Ashton that Paul is one of the biggest Daddy's he'll ever see, but he calmly agreed to disagree with me, somehow assuming that most Dads come in XXXLT as opposed to the XXLT his Daddy is.

Ashton also adds quite matter of factly that he will surely be bigger than Paul someday, someday soon. That, I silently hope, is a day long off in the distance. I am not ready to stop being able to easily and sofly kiss the top of his head as he hugs my waist, not yet at least.

Here's to dreaming big Ashton! (I wonder if Paul used to say the same things to his Daddy.)
