Maybe it's the Holidays or maybe it's that time of month, either way I'm super emotional about Jase growing up. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way from time to time. Moms who have been moms before me warned me a million time "it goes so fast, enjoy it" and other similar words. BUT seriously... IT GOES WAY TO FAST!
My husband and I took Jase to see Santa in our downtown today and I just kept thinking, here is my big kid, my toddler, where on earth did the last year go. I can remember it like it was yesterday taking Jase to see Santa for the first time. I remember his cute little outfit and the silly face he made for his picture. Like most kids his age he had the "why am I sitting on this mans lap face". Not crying, but not smiling. This year he pouted a little and basically gave us a similar look after that but a little more pissed looking. How in a year, though, does he look so much older?!
At the same time I'm missing my little baby, I'm also so grateful to be at the stage we are with him now. Seeing his eyes like up when he sees the Christmas lights, enjoying meals with him when he talks back to us and seeing him grow and learn everyday is nothing short of amazing.
What I find hard is how to enjoy the now without missing the back then. I think theres a place in our momma hearts for both, but where's the line? Is there one?
