My "Baby" becomes a big boy!

Tonight I am feeling kind-of down...I am not exactly sure why. Our school week went really well. I am excited about the progress we made. The only thing we didn't get to this week is apple picking and I am going to try to go tomorrow.


I think my mood has more to do with my baby reaching a milestone...My baby is becoming a big boy. Of course I knew that - I mean the boy did turn 5 yrs old not to long ago but he is still tiny and ...my baby!! I felt the same when the older boys reached a certain age or achieved a certain thing. I really can't remember exactly what it was but I distinctly remember literally crying when the older one reached the place where I didn't consider him a baby anymore. The same for the 2nd son...but this is my baby! I don't plan on having any more babies so he will forever be it...but he is growing up. Mama must admit defeat and let him become a big boy. For tomorrow my "baby" will play in his FIRST soccer game. I am going to go to bed now and cry myself to sleep...
