Thursday's "Then and Now"

In six years my little boy has grown in leaps and bounds - yet one thing remains - his love for sea critters. At two-and-a-half, he ventured out with either his Mommy or Poppa right behind, in search of sea life. At eight-and-a-half, he explores the creek on his own. Please, can someone make time stand still so I can enjoy him as a little boy just a little bit longer?
