What happened to those pudgy legs and the gummy smile. My baby is all grown up and is a real boy. He is expressing himself and sharing opinions like and actual human. This morning we stepped into the sunshine and, with great feeling, Jack exclaimed “What a beautiful day!”
Yesterday, I bought him a smoothie and me a coffee. When I asked for a taste of his mixed berry treat, he replied “No mommy. First you drink ALL your coffee. Then I share Jack’s smoothie.” What a stinker. Twisting my words and using them against me.
Now when we go to bed, we snuggle and talk. He tells me he loves me and I tell him he makes me smile with my heart. He tells me secrets and we giggle over the funny things he says. And every night I think the same thing… how long will we be able to do this?
Will he wake up at age 7 and suddenly be too big for bedtime chats? Because, honestly, I will still be up for it 30 years from now. Okay, just started to tear up.
Thanks for listening to my rambley ramble of a post. Happy Friday friends.
With love from Detroit,
Callie
Way to make me cry.
You’re welcome 🙂
Don’t stop those bedtime chats until he makes you. Either record or write some of them down, there will be too many to remember!
Hi Callie. I love reading your blogs. There are a few that are my favorites. As a mother with a 31 year old daughter I can honestly say that I enjoy talking with and listening to her as much as I did when she was very young. And, it is especially nice when I hear her quoting with an understanding and an unspoken thank you, something I said during a conversation we had when she was younger. Conversations I have with Niambi have taken on a whole new meaning of love and respect.
Awwwwwwww love this. Thank you for sharing!
