Such a good point - as mommy to 15 yea...OOOH Mama!! Such a good point - as mommy to 15 year old Parker I see those first day pics and 1) think that is so so far away from now, and 2) don't think about the teary mama behind the camera. It's not far away. The ticking of seasons, the putting away of the too small clothes, each milestone reached, a silent reminder that pre-K is not so very far off in our future. ...And not pictured, the mama. Who is there before me. Who is staring at her baby through the camera lens, saying something funny to make him laugh, her voice quivering as she is equal parts proud and sad. Her breath catching in her throat as she lets go of that tiny hand. The First Day. I won't see those pictures quite the same! Congrats to Carter for starting pre-K3! I can't wait to hear how much he loves it!!Nicole @ Suddenly Snowdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05557363765491711845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-79109006787564998992013-09-05T21:46:48.086-04:002013-09-05T21:46:48.086-04:00this is one of my favorite posts! this is one of my favorite posts!

My last baby is One on Saturday and I can't seem to shake myself out of this sad little rut about it. Because I know that all too soon I'll be sending him and his older brother off to school, to clubs, to prom, to college...and it kills me. You're line about They are not ours to keep forever..That makes me really sad. <br /><br />Good post APjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04496374833491415819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-48430797612080772392013-09-05T13:15:34.649-04:002013-09-05T13:15:34.649-04:00love this!love this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02203871543495541911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-68974871713754746652013-09-05T11:35:15.731-04:002013-09-05T11:35:15.731-04:00Ohhhh letting go is so very hard for mamas....
