is this real life?
i cannot believe this day has come,
the day that i can no longer call you my baby.
the time to no longer count in months, but in years.
2 years old, my precious son,
my first born.
i catch tiny glimpses of the little man you are becoming every day-in the way your neck has slimmed up right along with your cheeks and your belly, your little boy hair that sticks up in all sorts of unimaginable directions after bedtime, how your "uh-huh's" and no's have suddenly taken on meaning, the way you always want to do everything yourself, and in the expression on your face as you concentrate on something new.
sharing these past two years with you has been the best and i feel like i've known you a lifetime. i am the luckiest to get to share my days with you.
i praise the Lord for blessing me with your tiny sweet soul and i pray for many more years of life together, as well as an eternity.
and forgive me, but i may just continue to call you my baby anyway because, although time changes everything, i'll always remember the day i locked eyes with you, the sweetest baby boy in the whole wide world and that baby will always be mine.
i'm a fool for you.
love you forever,
momma
So sweetly written.
