Let Them Be Little
I miss the big piles of dirt you used to love crawling around until your jeans were so saturated with it that they were more brown than blue.
I miss the tonka trucks, hot wheels, dirty hands and faces.
I miss Thomas the tank engine and all his friends. I'll never look at Cranky the Crane without getting a little teary eyed.
I miss the mispronounced words and questions out the wazoo.
I miss outside being the most exciting place to be in your world.
I miss being the most important person in your life.
I miss cute little button front pajamas.
I miss having a child for each arm and leg while out and about - your so independent now that most of the time I am pulling back on the reins just to get you to walk with me.
I miss the excitement over the tinest bug or animal.
Time is moving so fast and I know if I don't savor these last few years I will regret it for a lifetime. Already your bodies are moving on...growing out of your clothes and shoes as fast as I buy them. You are eating me out of house and home but secretly I love it as I know that you are healthy. While I have high hopes for your futures I wish that I could just freeze time for just a while. Savor the moments when I catch tiny glimpses of the little boys that you once were.

ReplyDeleteLOL we must be having a moment. Remember your post from the other day about not being able to wait for them to stop with the bodily noises and stuff? Being a mom is an emotional job I tell ya!
