A sentimental mess...

Okay so I am one of those mom's that panic when I lose sight of my kid at the playground, or when I watch him climb to the highest part of the jungle gym, or when he asks to go out side to play with the neighbor's. He is only testing his Independence but in the back of my mind I know the cruel course of time is working against me and my baby is growing up. I am also one of those mom's that is fully aware of how precious each moment is and all too often I get caught up in the "feel good songs" that are unfolding before my eyes.

Such is the moment that took my breath away a few nights ago. As I was finishing up the last story for the night I looked over and saw my exhausted little boy dreaming along side of me, and right away this song started playing in my mind... It wont be like this for long.... This verse in particular...

"He lays down there beside her ‘Til her eyes are finally closed And just watchin’ her it breaks his heart Cause he already knows It won’t be like this for long One day soon that little girl is gonna be All grown up and gone Yeah, this phase is gonna fly by So, he's tryin’ to hold on ‘Cause it won’t be like this for long"

So yes, I am one of those kinds of mom's, a sentimental mess... (but I love every moment of it!)
