Growing Up

That phrase, "growing up" is not one of my favorites.  I'm seeing it in my first born a lot lately!

 

Why does he have to change from the little 2 year old, with the cute little voice, who loved cars and wacking a golf ball and just playing with his little brother?  Why do things have to change?  Why in the world do I see him now in front of a mirror?  Desiring so much to be "in charge" and "right" about everything?  I like seeing images of his Daddy in him and how much they are alike and yet I wish I could hold him tighter!

 

It's hard and yet it's life.  I want him to grow and develop and mature!  Yet I want to keep him little!  I wish so badly I could hold onto him, to all of them!

 

I just have to pray we are doing a good job and trust that the Lord will be their guide!
