15 years ago today I gave birth to a beautiful little baby boy. Today that boy is taller than I am; but in my heart he is still my "little boy". I wrote this post last year for his birthday, but it's still as relevant today as it was a year ago. Happy Birthday to my Little Man!!
Back when you were little - I used to take afternoon naps with you; your soft head under my chin.
Now - You don't take naps, and you stay up later than I can keep my eyes open.
Back when you were little - You had the cutest chubby little legs, complete with little Michelin man rolls on the thighs.
Now- You are taller than I am.
Back when you were little - People used to comment on your adorable little cheeks
Now - Those cheeks are showing the first fuzz of facial hair.
Back when you were little - You used to come running to show me every
little treasure you found and share every part of your adventures.
Now - You are the king of one syllable answers and grunts.
Back when you were little - You used to like my singing and would sing along with me.
Now - You roll your eyes when I sing in the car and beg me to "Please stop"
Back when you were little - You used to plead with me to rub your back while we watched TV or read a book
Now - Ok, maybe some things still haven't changed.
Back when you were little - You were my sweet little boy. The cause of
my first gray hairs. The tiny little male child I loved with all my
heart.
Now - You're not so little anymore. You're growing more and more
independent. But you still cause me new gray hairs. And I still love you
just as much as I did back when you were little.
Oh, so precious. Our oldest grandson will turn 7 this summer....where does the time go. And, it's a reminder that I'm getting....OLD(er)!!! ;-) HOPE you have a great day!!
