A boy and his dogs...

    His first bite of solid food, the day he lost his first tooth, his first day of first grade, his first birthday sleepover-- these have all been markers of my son's growing up. Slowly, joyfully he has gone from a babe in my arms to a young man. And yes, I know... the adventure is just beginning.
    Another marker of time, in childhood (at least in this household) is reading "Where the Red Fern Grows." Perfect for my 5th grade son, our whole family listened to this beautiful tale on audio tape as my family drove from Chicago to the heart of Indiana. Wilson Rawls does such an amazing job of capturing both the joys and pains of growing up (for both mother and child), all while telling a harrowing tale of a boy, his beloved dogs, and the greatest coon hunting competition ever.
    I know...I know... I don't seem quite the coon hunting type - but beautifully crafted storytelling? That is surely "one of my favorite things"!
