Forever



He smiles when I tell him he can play with his truck in the dirt.


I smile when I see the dirt here.


He grins when I tell him it's okay if he takes off his shoes.


I grin when this guy grabs my camera and pulls it close.


He frowns when I tell him it's time for a haircut.


I frown when I see my baby is trying to crawl. Can't he stay little a little while longer?


I beam when I see my handsome boy with a handsome new haircut.



Why can't my children stay children forever?

Because you will love each stage with them just as much as the last! (Or so I hear...) My mom says she kept thinking, "Well, she's not a baby anymore, it's not going to be fun from here on out" and then, "Well, she's not a toddler now..." and "Well, she's not in elementary school anymore...", but every time something changed she liked it just as much as the last stage.

Ya ya. My mom says the same thing. I guess it's official. I just get sad because it's like a little person has died when your kids grow up. I will never have baby Christopher again or toddler Christopher again. (sniff sniff) I guess I'm just a sentimental nerd :)

I know... every stage is so fun. And I am sure I won't realize it until the last one is a senior in high school and still using a sippy cup or something.
