I try not to be all sentimental and mushy. I hate sappy feelings. But when it comes to my children....well, sometimes that glob of melty emotions can not be helped.
Take yesterday for instance. My son and husband returned victorious from their shopping trip....their clothes shopping trip. I knew that this would be one time that my husband would be a better guide then me, for picking out pants and shoes, because these special items are actually for our son's first job.
He needed tough working pants and serious work boots. When he came home, he opened his box to show me the new boots and I was surprised. Those boots are huge! Man sized! How on earth are they going to fit my little guy?
Perfectly, it turns out.
Sometimes, it is hard to believe the the tiny, baby foot that I could cup in my hand is ready to head off to a job, work boots and all, driving a car no less!
They do tend to grow up - - even their feet :)
ReplyDelete:-( I am not looking forward to my girls getting to that point. The speed they are growing now scares me and I get the feeling I will be there before I know it!!
ReplyDeleteThinking about this makes me sad, because I know the day is coming when my two kids will be at the same point. Their growing up is so bittersweet.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way over my son's wedding. He was so tall, so handsome in a TUX! He was a man, and my heart just ached. I was happy for him, loved his bride, but so miss the baby/toddler days!
ReplyDeleteWTG for your son getting a job!! But they do indeed grow up so fast; we blink from the time they are babies and then they are fully grown!
