Setting Blog for Private Readers Only
It is beginning to creep me out that strangers can read about our family happenings. So...I am setting the blog to private! If you would like to continue reading our family stories, send me your email address and I'll add you as a private reader! The only thing that will change is that you will have to log in with your email address before you can see the page! There are just so many "weirdo's" out there these days! I will set it to private in a few days!
Cohen is in Kindergarten!
Cohen is growing up too! But we all know that....he's acted like he's 13 for a few years! He loves school, loves his teacher, and is meeting lots of new friends.
Our baby is ONE!
We celebrated Coop's 1st birthday this weekend! I have been an emotional wreck about it. I had a good time planning his party and celebrating with family and friends, but when I started to actually think about him getting older, moving from “baby” to “toddler”, I became a mess.
An emotional mess.
I started fast-forwarding to a few years down the road when he won’t just come up to me and give me kisses. To the time when I drop him off at school and he shies away from hugging me because he’s too embarrassed. To the time when I won’t be his whole world and he’ll choose playing with his friends more than me. Then driving and him going off to college. Him meeting a girl. Getting married....etc, etc!!!!! I just cry at the drop of a hat when I think about him getting older!
This morning I cried when I left him in the church nursery and cried when they came to get me because he was crying for me!
I’m a mess. M.E.S.S!
I cry because he doesn't need to nurse anymore, I don't have to pack him bottles anymore...He is growing up!
He needs me now and I will cherish his hugs and kisses FOREVER! I want to remember those open mouth slobbery, wet kisses. Those sideways hugs and big bright smile he gives when he sees me. The crooked way he crawls when I get to the babysitter and he is so excited to get into my arms--he just looks at the floor and crawls as fast as he can to get to me! (See I am getting teary now). With the other boys, I wasn't so sad when they turned one. Maybe because I knew there would be babies to follow....Coop is our baby. Our baby FOREVER! I know that I can’t hold on to my baby forever, but he’s just growing up so fast. A lot faster than I ever imagined.
It really makes me so sad on one hand, but on the other, it’s really exciting to see him growing up and exploring so much. He’s such a curious little boy and wants to know about everything and wants to do everything his brothers do.
Sure there are times when I get frustrated or feel like I could sleep for 3 more hours in the morning, but I’m not taking anything for granted. Babies aren’t babies for a long time and I’m so blessed that I was chosen to be Coop’s mom. I love him (and his big brothers)more than anything and in the "rough" moments, I remind myself of this. I’m cherishing the times, good and bad, because I know that they will pass so fast.
Gone within a blink of an eye really.
I love you, Cooper Lawson Day! Happy First Birthday!!!
