Parenting

I was beside myself yesterday. If I hear one more person say that my baby needs to get over this "mama" thing, I might lose it. 1- His behavior is age appropriate. 2- He has been home with me since day 1. 3- He is my baby. 4- This will not last forever.

I am going to savor, love, and appreciate every moment that my baby squeezes my elbow and holds onto my hair when I try to hand him off to someone else. At a time not too far off from now, my baby will be running away from me, off to play with his friends, taking the bus to school... Who knows, but while he will always be MY BABY, he won't always be A BABY.

I am his mama, I love him and he loves me too! He proves it every time I try to let him go. So I'm not letting him go any sooner than I need to!
