Lately these little faces have made me pause and think twice about the mess I'm cleaning, the rush I'm in, all the things I have that I want to get done. I've sat down more often to play, or talk, or wrestle.
I don't know why.
Maybe its because I sense a shift in seasons. This 3 yr old is no longer mama's baby. He's shedding that skin alittle too easily and alittle too quickly. He's caught between outgrowing toddlerhood and entering the "big" boy stage. It makes my heart question whether it should be thrilled or sad that I'm losing my first baby.
And this little peanut! He's no longer the peanut he use to be but now he's become my toddler and taken over the role his brother is shedding. How is it that one so small only a yr ago can do and say and keep up with his big brother as much as this one does?!
My heart is torn. It is so proud of the spirit and spunk and personality these two were given. How filled with life they are and how eager and excited they are to live it. I love that! But sometimes I just want to wrap them up and hold them tight and never, ever let go.
Good thing boys have a thing for their mama's. Or so I've heard:)
