We were watching video footage the other day of one of Luke's first baths at home. He fit in our kitchen sink then. We also found some footage of his baby dedication at Calvary. He slept the entire time, being held by his daddy, and his head fit into Neil's hand.
Just the other day, he lost his third tooth. His two
adult bottom teeth have already come in. Today, Neil took his training wheels off. He looks so big to me now. I can still pick him up, and every time he excuses himself from the table, he comes and sits on my lap for a cuddle. He said just this evening that he will always be my baby, but I know that mindset will pass eventually.
As tired as I am, each day I want to treasure the person God has made my special child to be. I want to respond with a loving tone (I fail constantly) to, "Mimi, come play with me." When he wants me to come read him a book in the bathroom, I want to savor those moments. This life passes so quickly, Lord; help me to redeem the time.

So sad now:( I couldn't believe where the time went when the teeth were coming out and the training wheels off...Now he has to bend down to kiss me tonight :( But at least he still wants to:)) And the happy tone keeps getting harder and harder. Lord, help all us moms to treasure our angels.
