Rootin Tootin Cowboy

Lucas is playing cowboy this afternoon. He’s all decked out in jeans, red cowboy shirt, matching boots, a red bandana, and hat. He’s having his snack, which is beans and rice and “cowboy coffee.” He’s been cookin’ up some beans on a campfire for tonight’s dinner. He says there’s a rodeo out in back of our ranch. He plans to build his own bunk to sleep in tonight. He has branded 90 head of cattle. Oh, and he’s not arguing with me about anything right now. I love this kid. Completely adorable.

    This is the stuff that make us all love them. And then when he’s fifteen he will be mortified that they even exist. I love being a grownup.
