Y is for YELLOW

I am participating in Jenny Matlock's Alphabe Thursday....

Jenny Matlock


Today's letter is Y.

Yellow is my son Alex's favorite color. It has been for a long time. I think it matches him perfectly. He's bright and sunny. It was pink until he was old enough figure out it wasn't cool for a boy to like pink. We can probably thank is big brother for that.


A poem for Alex


Y = young.... he is my baby (even though he's almost in the double digits)

E = edge.... Alex lives "on the edge", always ready for anything

L = loving... it may sound simple but Alex is very loving... he has a tender heart with people, animals and every living thing.

L = Labor Day.. Alex was a labor day weekend baby. His birthday always falls around labor day

O = olives.. this boys loves olives, especially black

W= water.. he loves the water and always has. If there is a puddle, creek, swimming pool, hose anything water related around he will be there!
