Too fast.... Way to fast!
{sigh}
Oh, it makes me sad how quickly they all grow up. This was TJ last year...
So little!
Back then he would just roll around mostly. Now he eats by himself.
He LOVES his baths! As soon as he hears the word bath, He'll run over to the bathroom and start emptying all his bath toys into the bath.
He knows where his ears and head and fingers and nose is....
He loves to watch daddy cleaning the pool, but doesnt so much like to go in it.
He's good at making messes.
He likes to read.
He likes it when i read him Winnie-the-Pooh until he falls asleep.
Right now he looks so big, but i know a year from now i'll look back on these photos and he'll look so small again. I have to constantly remind myself that at the ages of 18 months, 8 years and 10 years, they are still so small. It's what i struggle with the most as a mother, how quickly it all seems to go buy. I constantly worry that i am missing out on too much, that i'm not doing enough, that i didn't teach him enough, hold him enough, read to him enough, play with him enough. Why does it all happen so quickly? Where has the time gone? Was a the best mother i could be or was i too distracted by the wrong things?
{sigh}
He is my number 4 and i still seem to be making the same mistakes.
Will i ever get it right?
But he is loved, so loved. And amidst all my doubt as a parent, the one thing i do know for sure is that my kids, all of them, have been told each and EVERY day of thier lives, that they are LOVED.That they have NEVER been told, or made to feel otherwise. And that, (so they tell me) they have never doubted.
