That Moment When..

You realize your baby is growing up. You have many of those moments but it seems like each time they happen, it catches you off guard!

Today my 3 year old, Kaysen, made me have one of those moments. We were all eating dinner and he had a potty accident. I take him to the bathroom and tell him to take off his wet clothes, then I went back to the kitchen to clean up the mess real quick. While doing that I hear the bathtub water being turned on. I go check on Kaysen and he had already put his wet clothes in his dirty laundry hamper and was taking a bath!!! I was really shocked!
On top of that he sees me and immediately sits down covering his butt and says "I don't need spanking Mama!"
I couldn't help but laugh at his face!
It's so hard for me to watch him grow up. In a way I am SO proud of him and I brag about how smart he is getting and how big he is getting, yet at the same time it makes me sad. I still see him as my little baby. I want to have all those cuddles and his little curls to bounce when he walks. Now he hardly wants to cuddle up to me(mostly does it when he doesn't feel well) and his hair has turned wavy and there are no longer curls.

Seriously parents, cherish those moments. They will be gone quickly. They truly grow up too darn fast!!
