I think I'll have to go sneak in and watch him sleep for awhile to recover now........... Rachael -
I’m re-reading this now after holding my own little man and having him smoosh faces with me and give me his touching-teeth kisses and almost crying to think that he won’t be like this forever………I’ve been wanting him to grow up since the day he was born because things are SO crazy with the kids so close together in age, but reading this makes me realize how quickly he’ll be as old as your son……..sigh.

Be sure to keep a copy for him, maybe in your own handwriting. Both my children are wonderful, sensitive adults now. My daughter is the type to fling her arms around me and say "I love you." My son shows his feelings in more subtle ways. When he got married, he chose a song from his favorite group, the Dave Matthews Band, for our mother/son dance. The tune was "Steady As We Go"... "When the storm comes, You shelter me. And I don't say a word, And you know exactly what I mean. In the darkest times, You shine on me. You set me free. And keep me steady as we go." http://tinyurl.com/yp2cpa Now I'm crying again. diane dianes last blog post..<a href="http://dmcordell.blogspot.com/2008/05/objects-modified-by-changing-light.html" rel="nofollow">Objects Modified by Changing Light</a> Rachael,

Thanks so much. I am reading as I rock my own son to sleep and rather than scurry him off to bed just now, I think I'll hold him just a few minutes longer. :) This is great, Rachael. Thanks so much.
