He has always been a sensitive, sweet & full of emotion kind of kid. He’s always thinking, his mind never rests it seems, as he strives to understand the world around him. When I catch him looking out the window or reading his books, I am reminded of him as a baby. In those moments of quiet I remember what it was like when he was once so small and would have the same look on his face. And I can’t help but want to give him lots of hugs & kisses & tell him how he is my sweet little baby. Even if I hear “MOM STOP! EWWW!!! I’M LIKE A BIG KID NOW.” Because I realize what my Mom always told me, “No matter how big you get. You’ll always be my baby.” Even if I was all “MOM STOP!! EWWW!! I’M LIKE A BIG KID NOW.” I really get it now as I watch my own children, I really get it.

such a cute photo! there are days I dread my kids getting older b/c as much as having them all young right now and it’s labor intensive, they still think I’m the best and love to give hugs & kisses. there is a day they won’t be so responsive to cuddling and I know I’ll miss that…
But I think if we do it right & show them what love is, they will one day come back & be responsive. Even if they cringe during those teen years.
Awwww, look at that picture! Precious! He looks like an old soul.
He is an old soul, at the core of his being is the very intense but loving way of looking at the world.
I’m still my mother’s baby, she just takes it alittle too far with grounding me if she thinks I deserve it, and then I have to remind her I am a grandmother! My kids will always be my babies no matter how old they are.
Wait, Moms can still ground us even after we have kids & grandkids? Why wasn’t I informed of this?
I so get it too!
ANd mine isn’t even 2 yrs old yet. But he doesn’t want me to hold his hand anymore…
I remember him as just a little worm who was always snuggled up at my chest.
I loved the little snuggly on the chest phase. They are so small then & content just to snuggle.
