Growing Up

Cub Scout's daycare has webcams.  Which means I can look at him anytime throughout the day....which I do...perhaps too much :)  Ok, definitely too much.  But how can I not?  My little man is away from me all day long and I miss him so much and here's this camera into his world...

I watch him at daycare and realize he's growing up.  My heart both melts and breaks at the same time.  It's bittersweet.  It's wonderful to see your child grow and learn new things and become more independent but at the same time it reminds you how fast the time is going, how one day he won't need mommy to wipe his nose or hold his hand.  I want to hold on to each stage/age and not let go.  I will miss the days when Cub Scout says "mommy, hug" and wraps his arms around my neck and presses his cheek against mine.  I will miss when he says "mommy, hand" and reaches his little hand out to hold mine.  I will miss all those moments when I get to give hugs and kisses and he doesn't push me away.  I will miss cuddling him in my lap.  I want to hold on to these moments forever yet I feel them slipping away.

Even though we'll be welcoming baby #2 into our family in October and I'll get to experience it all again I will still miss those moments with my first born as he continues to grow up.

There really is nothing in the world that compares to the experience of having a child.  I am truly blessed.  I had no idea this little man would steal my heart the way he has.
