Let me time you

Eamon is the proud owner of a new watch from his dad. He loves it. It is a bit big on his seven and a half year old arm, but he wears it with pride. It was his daddy's don't cha know. He sports it daily without fail, and he checks it often. Eamon will spout off time facts throughout the day.
Mama, do you know when high tide is? 
Mama, how fast can I run around the block? 
Did you know it took you ten seconds to do that.
I can time you. Ready, set, go!
Don't be puzzled by his latest armwear. His new black timepiece is a treasure, and his is ready to tell you the time if you ask.

  1. OMG, what happened to my little E? He looks so grown up that I hardly knew him. Mom, he just isn't a baby any longer. Good looking young man with a truly great watch. Ask him to keep me posted when I get there. I will really need to know the time for sure! How sweet. Dad's watch, can life get any better for a guy!

    Too true. He isn't yet counting the days, so I try to forget.
