I have an 18 year old son who is growing up to ba a kind, caring, responsible man (who still takes care of his Mama). As he gets older, I find myself thinking back to his younger self, and I thought, we have all kinds of ways to track the "firsts" for our kids - first tooth in, first tooth out, first time sitting up, first haircut, etc etc. But we never think about the "lasts" - I guess because we don't realize until after the fact that they really are the last time something will happen. Example, when was the last time my son was small enough that I could carry him to bed when he fell asleep on the couch? If I'd known at the time I was carrying him to his room that it would be the last time, would I have savored the moment? Time flies so fast - I am thrilled at the man my son has become, because I know that sweet baby boy is still in there somewhere!<br />~MARIA~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
