Mourning the loss of a friend...

Mr. Caterpillar Goulashes you were loved by a 2 year old boy, loved like only a 2 year old boy could love. He loved you so much that he cried the day you wouldn't fit on his 4 year old feet anymore. He loved you for two short, happy years. Thank you. You were always there with a smile on your face through the good times, bad times, sunny times, and of course the RAINY times. Thank you for bringing a smile to our little boys face and to the passer byers who saw the two of you clunking down the paths of another one of Christian's little adventures. It is sad to say goodbye but so happy to see the love that one small boy has given to one small pair of boots.





The happiness begins on April 8th 2006, Easter Sunday.









Christian's sad that his new boots got dirty...if he only new what these boots were made of. If he only knew that there would be so much more dirt, and mud cleaned from these boots.













The sad and dreaded day of "the growing out" of the beloved boots. July 19th 2008.










The before and after. WOW! That's a whole lot of love! Christian will miss you so! But don't worry there is a sassy pigtailed little girl that just might need to squeeze a little bit more love out of you with a whole new pair of chubby little feet.




And shall we end this with a Christian Quote? Sure!
Christian: "I love you Mom. You make my heart happy."

Super cute post. I remember those boots and hope to see them on Jocie. Christian is so cute. He looks so little as a two year old. With such a cute family, don't you think you should post more often... think about it.
