{sweet} kittens, kids and keepsakes

Sweet can be so many things. It is kittens and babies, cakes and confections, love and kindness. Children and hugs, chocolate and cream, smiles and sunshine. Memories and keepsakes, grandmothers and cookies, popsicles and innocence.

The picture above is one of the two new kittens that have wandered into my life recently. His name is Brett, and he is, indeed, very sweet. And also playful and naughty and rambunctious and curious. Like all good kittens should be. (You can read more about his story, and that of his brother, here and here, if you like.)

I love to watch him play in the yard, he rarely sits still, even when he is on my lap, purring, he squirms around constantly, he is just too full of life, of that sweet curiousness that defines the very young.

The picture below is my son, 22 years ago. It is my favorite picture of him ever, I keep it on my desk and look at it everyday. It reminds me of when he was like a kitten, sweet but also playful and naughty and rambunctious and curious, all at the same time.

And now he is grown, and I am glad I have this picture, this keepsake. Twenty two years sounds like such a long time when you say it. But it seems like just yesterday that I was watching him play in the yard, never sitting still, learning new things every second, viewing the world with that same sweet curiousness.

And now he has grown into a fine young man, just ready to finish college and begin his journey into adulthood. And if I tell him that I am cooking his favorite thing for dinner, or that I found him a great new pair of flip flops, his reply will almost always be:

“Sweet.”

And there you have it.

Cute photos! Babies grow up so fast…I can’t believe my little guy is already 2. I know he’ll be graduating before I know it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

priceless photo of your son — makes me wonder which shot of my almost one year old will be the one i keep up forever — have i taken it yet?

Oh gosh. My youngest boy is turning 4 soon. I can’t imagine looking back 22 years in the future.

Great post…love the photos!
I really like your blog…keep up the good work!

Your kitten is very sweet. I have a soft spot for loved pets.

What wonderful captures! Love your beautiful blog!

The picture of your boy–and the accompanying text–made me teary. I’m sitting here with my little boy and can’t help but think that in a blink of an eye he’ll be grown.

Thank you for sharing.

What a great picture of your son. Its great when we are able to capture those special moments.

Oh, that IS sweet. Both photos are winners there. Such a cute kitty, and such a great facial expression on your son — I can see why you keep this picture around. (Come by and see my boy and kitty, too!) http://wackymummy.blogspot.com/2010/04/sweet-things-captured.html

I love the kitty! And your boy must be a handsome young man now!
