Lucas is 2 1/2 years old today and they were right. I was warned. Everyone that said it goes by fast. By it, of course, I mean childhood…. mine, yours and especially our children’s.
One minute it was just Todd and I and the next we became a family by bringing home our newborn son. Fast forward in lightening speed time, we began celebrating all of his amazing milestones and he soon turned one and then two and now attends preschool, sleeps in a twin bed, lives on macaroni ‘n cheese and has begun asking us all sorts of inquisitive questions about the world around him.
Right before our eyes Lucas has turned into a little person… a wonderful, thoughtful, strong-willed, energetic little person.
I constantly search for the pause button and desperately try my best to stay present so that I don’t miss a moment of his childhood.
I want to remember these days of sweet innocence and discovery forever.
A hundred hearts would be too few
To carry all my love for you.

I too am wishing for a pause button lately , wishing for a little more time to see them as “little” , I feel that too. If only we could stop time for a little while.
Right??
What a gorgeous post to your amazing little boy.
I need to get over to Picnik! I’m loving all the cool things you girls are adding to your photos!
What a cute! I love that he loves books!
what a beautiful quote…I’ve never heard it before…
Oh, every Mama’s heart is with you! He’s adorable! And, if you ever find that pause button, please let me know where to find it:)
“you can read to me?” how sweet is that!
What a perfect quote to go with that picture.
I was just thinking this same thing. Where’s the pause button??
I asked Jolie this morning if she could try not to grow as fast as her brothers. Her reply? I dont think I can stop Mom.
I die
Yes, you are 100% correct! It goes by too fast!!
He is usch a cutie and I love “you can read to me?”
So perfect and I feel the same, as much as I want to see them grow, I want time to slow down.
It really does go by so fast. I can’t believe my babies are almost 8 and 6.5. How in the world did that happen. I wish I could record every moment in my head to play back at will. They drive me nuts, but I love them so much.
Oh I love that quote. It’s so perfect. And he is just adorable!
He reminds me of my son at that age! Such a handsome fella!
This is one of my favourite ages, love the picture and words!
Oh, I loved this! And here I sit, eating M&Ms at work, gazing at his cute little face…wish I could share some with him!
Oh, in a few weeks I can!!
Oh how I adore this little person so much. He certainly is my favorite guy in the whole world. I should start making Lucas pick who I date!
Wouldn’t that be funny? Love, LOVE, LOVE that picture with all the words!!
