They say that life is what happens when you're not watching.
It's a thought that fills my mind today as I try to figure out where the last 4 years have gone. As F shoveled his Cheerios into his mouth this morning while sitting on my bed, I thought of the many mornings I laid in the dark nursing him in the comfort and quiet of bed. When we walked across the preschool parking lot holding hands, I remembered the first time he wrapped his fingers around one of mine. Or the many, many, many times he fell asleep in my arms or on my lap/chest/stomach/leg and I was itching to move but couldn't bring myself risk waking him. But life, as it does, just happened and I woke up today to see that my baby really is a little boy.
Sometimes the days feel endless but the years slip by before you know it and the nights are just never long enough...
Happy Birthday to you, F.

Happy Birthday F! Mine just turned 11 earlier this month and it is amazing to me that all of that time has passed in the blink of an eye!
