My boy. My sunshine. It’s starting to hit me – Lucas will be two years old in less than 2 months. Officially a toddler! I feel like it was just the other day I was planing his first birthday. Scrambling to paint decorative dinosaurs, waiting for RSVPs, printing photos for his 12 month collage. Where did the time go? Every seasoned mama will tell you “watch out…the time will fly by.” You nod politely and move on. It doesn’t resonate until all of a sudden you’re a mama of a child. Not a baby. A child who you can reason with, who answers back, who has friends of his own. He is still a mama’s boy, that I’m sure of, but his personality is thriving and he is becoming more independent with each passing day. I’ll be kissing these sweet baby cheeks that smell of delicious honey each day, silently counting down each day until the ‘big 2’. I’m so proud of the boy Lucas is becoming and although I admit I’m a bit wistful as I reminisce on the past 2 years, I am over the moon excited to watch my baby boy make the jump into boyhood.
I was asked to write a letter to Lucas over on the lovely blog with heart. Jen, it was honor to participate. You can read my letter on what I hope he always knows here.
