About twice a month, Dominic and I get to spend an entire evening together. We usually end up going to Barnes and Noble and the Park. On this particular day, Dominic was SOO proud of himself for climbing up the 'big boy ladder'. "Look at me Daddy, I did it!". Of course, words cannot describe how proud I was. I cannot imagine what it will feel like when he comes home with his first A, or after his first kiss, or graduation from college.
