After a cold weekend completely indoors, the sun is shining, the boys are off to school, hubby's off to work & it's just me & the little guy. I'm feeling like these days at home with him are suddenly, very quickly coming to an end. Okay, so I still have another year & a bit, I needn't be so dramatic, but in the scheme of things, of 9 years at home with children, it's nearly over...
So, I'm going to enjoy these sweet moments, where it's just the two of us. When he runs up from behind me & kisses my back, when he hugs my legs & tells me he loves me as I mop up his spills, when he invites me to tea or a cuddle on the couch, when he tells me my pyjamas look beautiful, that I make a yummy dinner, and my favourite "how about we go get a coffee & go to the op shop", love it! So, at my house, I'm enjoying treasured moments...

Oh yes, go and enjoy your gorgeous little cherub! What wonderful things he says.
ReplyDeleteSo precious, what sweet pictures.
ReplyDeleteI have 8 days left with my last one before she's off to school all day and I can't believe how this time has gone and my oldest is starting high school I can honestly say I enjoyed every moment with them...and now I'm on to the next chapter in my life it's been 15 years I have always had a little one home with me...I might have lunch with friends, take a nap, work in the store, do some laundry, because before you know it 3:00 will come all too quickly!!
ReplyDeleteI found myself getting a bit teary reading this post! I feel just the same, the time with the last child is so precious. I love my time with Rosie too and I"m a bit scared about next year to be honest. Like Heidi I think I'll be catching up with myself and hey, she's right, 3.00 comes around so quickly. I keep getting people asking me what I am going to do with all my Spare Time, funny. If only they knew! Have a great day with your sweetie today, xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous post! After reading that, I think I might just hop off the computer and spend some time with my little cherubs playing at my feet. Thanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDeleteoh wow the "how about we get a coffee and go to the op shop" just had me smiling from ear to ear how gorgeous is that AND he has his priorities right already! It does go so quickly it's hard to grasp sometimes
ReplyDeleteAw!! What gorgeous boys you have!!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely and sweet pictures. I know what you mean. Even I used to panic a lot when little one started school. Even now, though its fun to watch him grow up, its a bit scary for me that its happening so fast. But as you said these are the moments to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOh honey, what a gorgeous post.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like such a beautiful little kid.
Enjoy the moment. X
ps my word verification is squish! How perfect is that! I'm off to squish my littlest one now.
JUST beautiful! I'm finding that the older I'm getting...the faster time is getting away from me! It's sooo important to treasure these moments we have everyday with our children :)

my youngest starts 3year old kinder next year and I just wish I could slow the year down that is going way too fast! Hope you enjoyed your day with your little guy.
ReplyDeleteThe top photo is the sweetest thing!
ReplyDeleteMy little man will be starting to school in a year and a half, and I feel like it's flying by far too fast. :(
the little cherub in the first picture just stole my heart with his twinkle in the eye and gorgeous smile !they just melt our hearts with the sweet things they say ,don't they?!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet, I love that he wants to go out for coffee with you:)
ReplyDeleteI know I will look back on the days of little kids with very fond memories but sometimes living the day to day it is hard to remember how good it all is and how much it will be missed. Thanks for the reminder to cherish these moments and appreciate what I have. They are absolutely adorable at this age.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in again this week. Lou.

ReplyDeleteWow Mel - where have those 9 years gone. It doesn't seem that long at all. I just love, love, love, that first photo. How gorgeous is he. Soak up the moments. I'm doing the same with my little one because I know she's growing up ever so quickly. I just want to freeze time. Trace :)

ReplyDelete:-) Little boys know how to steal their mammy's heart forever don't they?
ReplyDeleteAhem. My smallest is somewhat well versed in the merit of an op shop. Enjoy the ride, Mama.
