I think I just rocked him to sleep for the last time...

I think I wore him out on purpose.
I think I made him eat his dinner through his sobs on purpose.
I think I deprived him of a nap on purpose (2 days in a row...)

I think I am not ready to leave baby years behind.  I'm NOT READY!!!!!! (cue hissy fit, accompanied by jumping up & down, fist shaking, tears, stomping...etc...YOU GET THE PICTURE.)
I don't miss sleepless nights...(thanks to my revolving door of littles, I still have them.)
I don't miss barf and poopy diapers.
I don't miss the suitcase required to leave the house for a 5 minute errand.

I do miss...
baby breath...
sleepy snuggles...
sweet faces buried in my shoulder...
giant cloth diapered butts...
messy kisses...
arms held high to hold on tight...
sweetness, innocence, a face alight...

This season simply passed so fast...
I wish I could have made it last.
The days I wished would speed on by,
went so quick I cry and cry.
I'll find a way to slow the days,
I'll change my frantic, crazy ways.
If I don't, my regret will grow,
This much... I truly know.

I rocked him to sleep as I sang and sang...

love,
clan mac mama

I so loved seeing my beautiful wife rocking our lil man to sleep. all too often life catches us up in its rushing wave and sweeps us away causing us to miss out on far too many precious moments with our lil blessings. Let us all slow down and enjoy our children, God's gifts to us parents.
I Love You Tiff!
