Aiden has been especially cuddly this morning. He wants to be held and cuddled and kissed. Quite frankly I don’t mind one little bit.
As he climbed up on my lap this morning something hit me. No longer can he snuggle up and fit perfectly in my arms. His legs are dangling over mine. I am no longer able to lean down and kiss his little head. His head is right next to mine. My baby has grown. My baby is big.
Part of me misses the days when I could hold him in my arms and kiss his tiny forehead. Part of me misses the days of him tottling around. Sitting in his highchair taunting him “mamamamama.” A large part of me embraces it all. I love watching him learn new words. I love seeing him figure things out that I never imagined a three-year old could understand. I love seeing him talking to other kids. Beginning friendships. He is a child and nothing is wrong with that.

I think that’s one of the amazing things about motherhood. We have the ability to be excited about the present and future AND dreadfully miss the past at the same time.
I feel the same way with my toddler – he’ll be 18 months next week!
Waaaa!!! It’s a good thing I have another on the way! 
I hear ya, girl!
I feel the same way about my 4 yr old and 19 month old.

The only thing that I’d reasonably own than Windows is English, because then I might charge you 2 hundred and forty-9 dollars for the fitting to talk it. – Scott McNealy
Mr Reid and others state that these are good kids and excellent studentson the surface I would have to agree.Now, why doesnt our esteemed President get with the President of Mexico and convince him of the same??? These are the best and brightest Mexican kids and they should be given every opportunity by Mexico to go to college in Mexico for free. They would then be the bright future for Mexico as it tries to free inself from the drug lords and gangs. I would hate to think that Mexico would reject such wonderful children. They might even have some of their knowledge of freedom, liberty and human rights rub off on other Mexican citizens.
