He sounds like a darling. And I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT PUTTING THINGS AWAY (sorry, didn't mean to yell... guess I just had to vent). I eventually pretty much gave up on that, even though picking up after them drives me crazy. Their brains don't process the world like ours do and they just don't see putting things away, or doing anything they don't feel like doing, as a priority. At all. But that's okay. It's just their nature.

It's such a bittersweet joy to have moments like your son's first date. It's sad at the time but afterwards you're just so darn proud of who they're becoming.
