Not Wanting to Forget ....

Tonight I stood outside Tyler's door and listened to him trying to fall asleep. I stood (well sat after a while) for a good 20 minutes while he sang "tinkle, tinkle 'lil 'tar" and "now I know my a, b, c, d's ... yay!" I love that he is starting to leave babyhood behind and become more of a preschool aged child ... but, I am a little sad at the same time.

I have been heard saying how I can't wait for him to grow up ... to be more independent ... yet there is a part of me that yearns for another baby. (shh! don't tell anyone!) I said for 2 years that Maddie was our last baby, then along came Ty, so I don't say that anymore. ha-ha! I know that I can't do all that baby business again! Tyler really did me in. But I love him to pieces and never want to forget that first baby cry, that sweet baby smell, those nights rocking in the dark, the snuggling in my bed when Daddy is out-of-town or at work late.

Although we call him "the devil in disguise," he is a sweetheart as well. Stay little for just a little while longer Ty ...
