It was not too long ago Joel was my little baby. Cute and chubby little bundle of joy. My first born. Beautiful little toes, tiny little fingers and the smell of a newborn baby... not too long ago.
He brought so much joy and sleepless nights all in the same breath. Laughters and tears were not uncommon to the heart of a first time Mother. A breath of fresh air.... not too long ago.
Just a few days ago, he told me that his voice feels different... as if... it is "breaking". Breaking?? My baby's voice is breaking? But... but... he was just a little baby... not too long ago.
I held him in my arms and hugged him as if he was going to leave... Not physically, I know. But one part of him is leaving. The little baby whom I held in my arms... not long ago.
My goodness.. my baby is turning to a young man. But... but.. I want him to remain my baby... I am not .... ready. Give me another 1 year... oh, maybe 2 years... No, no, another 5 years. By then, I MIGHT be ready .... to let go.
Wasn't it ... not too long ago?

He is so adorable and sounds so sweet. Time does fly - it is frightening how fast it goes! Enjoy your time with your sweet boy - see you soon. Kellan
My twins are now 11 years old. Those were the days, weren't they?
Thank you so much for the sweet prayer for our baby - thank you. Kellan
When they are young, we want them to grow up fast and when they actually grow up, we want them to remain our babies. I wonder whether fathers feel the same.
How does time past so quickly?
I guess it is with all of us, especially when we have children
Kellan,
Yes. He can be very sweet and annoying all at the same time ;-)
You are welcome on the prayers.
forgetfulone,
Wow! A twin. I am trying to enjoy it before it passes too fast.
Jo-N,
You are right. Not sure about Daddy. I think he doesn't feel the same.
Angela,
I guess its obvious that time passes quickly when we see them growing before our very eyes.
