There is my little man, almost 5 years old! It is amazing how much he has grown up and how quickly. I got to attend his preschool graduation and I was surprised that it didn't make me sad. I am happy that my children are getting older. I am ready to move forward to new and exciting stages. I love that we can go to movies, do crafts, play games together, and occasionally my husband and I get to sneak off for a night alone together! That being said, I still cherish all of those little moments that are slipping away and might be gone forever before I know it: the early morning cuddles, the arguments over who gets to sit by mommy at the dinner table, and the insistance to sit in such a position in the car so that he can "see my pretty face." These instances happen less and less and one day they will be gone. So that is why a day of sitting around watching him dance to silly songs with his classmates (he spent most of the song yelling 'my partner isn't here today!") is so special. |
