Beautifully written! What a perfect way to describe a mother’s feelings. My youngest is an official “kindergartener” this year. It was such a bittersweet moment in my life.

Funny. At our house, the roles are all reversed: Michael and I would be doing the happy dance at bidding each other farewell, and mom gets the misty eyes. God fits us all together in different ways, His wonders to perform.

Wow! What a sweet story, and so endearing. I’m still single (never married) and no children. So I can only dream (and trust me I do–constantly) about the things you’ve described in this post. I pray that I’ll have the opportunity to do the things you’ve cherished in your memories of when Sean was smaller, but oh the joys you have each new day to create new memories together too!
Thanks for the sweet personal “welcome” to the blogging world. This is such an exciting endeavor for me. I find a lot of hope and inspiration through your blog. I totally don’t think you’re an “antique” though. You offer me and I’m sure many other single, mid-30’s girls a lot of hope that one day maybe our “mommy-days” will come too!

I love this.

And I second Signe’s comment… everyone says that I’m spoiling my littlest, but I’m determined to drink every ounce of babyhood from my wee one. Every bit.

Beautifully written. I have people always telling me I’m spoiling my baby by holding and cuddling him so much, but I never listen. They’re only babies for so short a time and I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts!

Awww, I’m not sure if it’s the newness of preschool or just ‘a moment’ but I’ve been feeling those things a lot lately. You summed it all up wonderfully, as always. Mine have been a little more snuggly lately, so I’m trying to cherish those moments because I know we’ll be on to another phase soon.

They say that bottomintheairsleep is the final baby thing to go, and I was lucky enough to see it again the other nite. Sigh.

Do you have forward imaginings as well? I will occasionally get flashes of helping them get ready for proms or weddings..then someone will scream, whine or cry and remind me of all the moments between. Thanx, as always

I was so ready to return, too. I did the exact same thing: went from bed to bed smelling and touching those amazing little creatures that are my own and make this place home.
