That's what Smiley said to me yesterday. And I guess technically, he's not.
He will be 3 in August. He's not wearing diapers anymore. He never wore pull-ups. He can talk better than most kids his age (thanks to Toot). He feeds himself and can even cook popcorn by himself.
When he said that, Benny just looked at me and laughed. After I gave Benny a dirty look, I said to Smiley "You will ALWAYS be my baby boy!". He just laughed along with his Daddy and ran away.
Kinda made me sad. I don't have any babies anymore. I never will. That part doesn't bother me because I don't want anymore children. Trust me, three is plenty! And I really love sleeping through the night. And I REALLY LOVE not wiping shitty butts anymore.
But the truth is, they do grow up way to fast. In a blink of an eye they go from tiny babies that can't even hold their head up to crazy kids that run away when I try to clean their face. Then to 10 year olds that think they know everything. It all just happens way to fast but they will all always be my babies to me.
About an hour later, Smiley bumped his head on something. He came to me with his blanky, crawled up in bed with me, and cuddled about 10 minutes. I looked down at him and asked him if he was still my baby boy. He shook his head yes.
And then I looked at Benny and stuck my tongue out at him!

This is adorable April! See, you'll always be 'mommy' too! Not that I would encourage head injuries or anything, LOL!
Have a great day!
So true!!! I remember the first time Ellie told me she was big girl. I cried so hard. But even now I still get the cuddle time when she's sick or hurt and I eat it up. Great post!!! XOXO
They grow up so fast! I miss those little things that make them "babies".
Thank goodness for cuddles!
LOL! While it's true that he's no longer a baby, he will always be YOUR baby. There is a difference.
And I agree they do grow up too fast. Before I know it, my teen will be in college...oh my!
awwww, I dont want my kiddos to grow up either! It gives me heartburn when I think about it too much, seriously. this is why I love that Rhiannon still loves to be with her mama a lot. I know I will be thankful for it when she is 13 and doesnt want anything to do with me!
HaHa! I have been the good friend this week and babysat for 2 different friends. All with little ones. I thought the babies were so cute and even though I'm totally done having babies they make you reminiscence... then I was head-butted and ended up with a busted lip, bit on the stomach, and realized I had baby shit under my fingernail. I'm glad mine are grown!
Oh my god, don't get me started on kids growning up too fast.
I can't take it. Both of mine will be in school full day next year and I'm not handling it well.
I'm not.
I don't wanna.
So true! My baby turned four today and all I can think is where did four years go??
Lol! He'll always be your baby, don't worry!
