His chubby little legs pump up and down as he makes laps around the island, the stairs, the couch and back to the kitchen island again. His soft feathery hair is dancing around on top of his head. The spot where his sister cut a chunk out (“he said he wanted me to!”) is wild in the wind. His dimples are as deep as the sea and he shreiks with glee,
“You can’t catch me! I’m the gingerbread man!”
He’s yelling it to all of us. To anyone that will chase after him and attack him with tickles and kisses.
When I chase after him and pin him to the ground, he giggles and screams, “No, Mommy! Noo!” But it’s too late, that gingerbread taunt could not be ignored.
I know one day he’d never dream of asking me to chase him.
But I always will.
God gave him to me, not just for me to enjoy, but to do the opposite of the Gingerbread Man’s family–to let him go. And although it pains me to think about it now, I’m excited.

Amanda . . . stopping by from the Gypsy Mama’s. I really enjoyed your post. Brought back memories of my own little guy from 30 years ago. I love this line . . . “his dimples are as deep as the sea”. Beautifully written.
Love it! That is what I feel like with my 2-year-old most of the time. 🙂 I’m a fan, follower, Tuesday ten participant, and have just discovered we have Five Minute Friday in common. Although maybe I already knew that?? Have a great weekend.
I often think we should have a “to be continued” finale post. That doggone timer! Love the sweet story of the Gingerbread man, and I can hear the laughter in my head.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
