Birthday
My beautiful son is now 7 years old. He is smart, and strong, and learning faster than I can keep track of. This year, he is learning to read and spell. He is learning simple math, and he excels at it.
I am left on these days feeling far too old for my age, and incredibly dumbfounded at the things being a mom teaches me everyday... Even if today's new lesson is learning the true boundary of my threshold for emotional stress and the limits of my patience.
He seems so grown up to me, but yet- he is still so little... Just a baby, really. I imagine it is the difference in having a child who can come to you and say what is on their mind versus the baby that was here 7 years ago, crying when he yearned for something, and me having to decode that into something that would stop the cry.
I can't wait to see what the difference will be a year from now- but I bet it will be huge- in both of us.
Happy Birthday, Baby Boy!
