all his little lines.

i've written many times before about lane's lines, as we call them around here. not a day has gone by over the last two years that i haven't found a long line of monster jams or hot wheels arranged neatly across the floor somewhere in my house. i guess i just assumed all little boys precisely arranged their moving vehicles in such an organized manner. 

that's just not the case, as my youngest son is proving. evan much prefers the more typical push, roll and crash method of playing with cars, which is causing my older son much distress.

at night, when i wander the house alone, cleaning up from the day, i'll always smile to myself as i find lane's cars arranged so nicely. no matter how long or short the line. and when the day comes when we pack away his cars, i have to admit, i'll miss all his little lines.
