The tenderness, the love, the serenity -- I love it. <br />And I just think we mothers are so powerful in our response to the chaos and how we respond makes such a difference. <br />Thank you for sharing this.

Hoping, hoping :)<br /><br />Lenae - I know! They're killing me too! I'm just TERRIBLY attached to the idea of my babies this week, for some reason. Probably because I'm not pregnant. Not that I'm trying to be, but still. The red dragon kind of nails it home, you know?<br /><br />Maia - You're so sweet! I'm glad you liked it :)<br /><br />Jill - It WAS lovely. And the best part is, that I knew it at the time. I soaked it up and didn't take it for granted. Go me :)<br /><br />Corinne - Tough and sweet. Yes, ma'am. Do you think it'll ever become <i>easy</i> and sweet?

In the end, we had to let his long legs dangle and I hugged him around the waist like the small man-child that he is. <br /><br />But even when he really is a man, he's always be my baby, right? :)<br /><br />And I repeat: You're killing me with these posts! But keep 'em coming, because they're so darn good ;)Lenaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128174350293301827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-68501682210486404052010-04-22T16:16:25.767-05:002010-04-22T16:16:25.767-05:00Oh it's always so precious to have those "...Oh it's always so precious to have those "you're still my little baby" moments with our growing up kids. I, however, have not have the same success, or patience, and have just ceased trying to put my Lauren aged daughter down for a nap. And actually I'm quite enjoying having time in the afternoon to go out and DO things rather than being stuck at home praying that she'll actually fall asleep today.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692366999970728146noreply@blogger.com
