Growing Up

We cut the last link off of Daniel's birthday chain this morning. Tomorrow he turns three. I sit down at the table and say to him:
"You know what that means, Daniel? Today is your last day of being two...that makes me sad."
Daniel says "you don't have to cry mommy"
I start to tear up.
I say, "but my little boy is going away, he's growing up"
he says to me "I'm not going away, I'm right here"

That made me tear up. Makes me sad thinking about Darian turning 3 a very short few months from now. Jess is right you are a fantastic mom with 2 1/2 wonderful kids and we can't wait to see you all.
