When I used to drop off Gavin at daycare I would always look back and say to myself "He is so small, look at how the other kids tower over him." Now I look back and think "Look at that big boy running around and towering over all those other kids." It kind of made me sad today. I was sad because I realized he will grow up, he will start rebeling and he will pull away from me at some point. Everyone tells me, do not worry about that it will be a long time before he does that. But as my favorite quote states "In the life of parenting the days are long and the years are short." Before I know it he will be going to school and sowing his wild oats.
But on the other end of it, I am so excited to see who he becomes and where he goes with his life. He is already just soooo smart. He grabs a book and throws it at me, which is his way of saying "read" he will sit on my lap and smile and talk to the book. He will even sit on the floor alone and "read" to himself. Its amazing. He can point out the window at a car coming and actually say "car" It just makes my mouth drop open to think that this kid can talk. He is an actual person, not a pet, not a lump of skin, but an actual little person.
I love that.
