Sad, but true

Aunt Kari made the comment that Aiden no longer looks like a baby - he looks like a kid.  Even older than a toddler.  It is sad, but very true.  Mister is a little man now.  Independent, stubborn, decisive, and getting older.  Does every Mom go through this hard transition kicking and screaming like I do?

I love my little man and this stage. But it reminds me that one day he will be 16 and driving (and dating - GASP), then will be 18 and graduating from high school, then 19 and a missionary.  Then married.  Then children.

And it gets overwhelmingly lonely to think of him somewhere else besides right in my arms.  All things in their season, I suppose.  But for the moment, I will really enjoy him the way he is.
