Hold him a little longer
rock him a little more
read him another story
you've only read him four
let him sleep on your shoulder
rejoice in his happy smile
he is only a little boy
for such a little while.

This is our son, Devin, at the California State Fair just weeks before he turned 3 years old in 1986. Wasn't he a cutie?!? He is sitting on one of the golden bears at Cal Expo. We took Devin to the fair every year and every year we got a photo of him sitting on or standing next to the golden bear. I am currently going through the photo albums to see how many captures I have of this. I hope it goes to age 16, at least. Devin will be 35 years old in September...I cannot believe it. The California State Fair closes this Sunday... until next year.
This is so wonderful. Loved your narrative too. Iām a huge believer in photographs we can hold in our hands. The memories they hold are so powerful. I love this.
A charming image. There's a huge emotional value to old pictures. I've scanned all our old prints and transparencies and put them on a website with access only to my named relatives. I'm amazed how much the site is used!
My 'little' boys are 48 and 51 now!!
