They Grow Up Too Fast

So, its been a few weeks, but I wanted to share a couple milestones in my little boy's life. He recently lost 2 teeth and learned to ride a 2-wheeler. It's funny how a tooth and the removal of training wheels can make such a huge impact in your life. I started thinking of all the things this little tooth is going to lead to; kindergarten, braces, dating, driving, college, marriage, kids...and I started to feel sad. You spend so much time wanting your kids to grow up and be more independent so you can gain some of your freedom back that you forget to enjoy the carefree moments and the little things that make life so special. Each passing day is getting closer to a time when I wont have my baby boy around, to when I cant grab his chubby cheeks, when I cant set him on my lap and read a story, when he wont need me to tie his shoes, when he wont want to call me Mommy or kiss me any more and as much as I dont want those things to happen they are and so therefore I must spend each day in the present and treasure each moment.

1st tooth gone.
No more training wheels!

2nd tooth gone. (Mom was dumb and had him look into the sun lol)
