I love that he's growing up and saying things and thinking and doing things on his own, but there is some mommy-choly there.

When our daughter snuggles up with Daddy, my heart swells so much with love; it does sting a little and I get all verklempt. My husband thinks it is a bit silly, but it is oh so bittersweet!Momma Jorjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17736034293320117257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354869131367567263.post-83650976160601348392010-12-02T13:22:27.536-08:002010-12-02T13:22:27.536-08:00I felt a bit different when my one and only turned...I felt a bit different when my one and only turned 1.

Mommyhood is, as you say, heart-aching--with beauty, pain, love, joy, loss, etc., etc. Babies are an illustration of the life changes we cannot stop.yawphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994352111230969415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354869131367567263.post-51991077232355969722010-12-01T16:44:17.919-08:002010-12-01T16:44:17.919-08:00I know, I know -- and it's all the worse becau...I know, I know -- and it's all the worse because it makes you feel like a crazy person. I have these vivid memory-pictures in my head of Angus as a solemn, fat-cheeked two-year-old and I want to weep as if that two-year-old is dead, when he's really not but kind of is, because the big giant ten-year-old WILL insist on saying his Ws properly and.... yeah.

Knowing what to expect I could pinpoint the very first toddler-y tantrum, and I wanted to mourn the loss of my sweet baby! While she was still very much there, of course. Just toddler-fied.Michelle @ The Parent Vortexhttp://www.theparentvortex.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354869131367567263.post-75465142682904851122010-11-29T21:21:44.446-08:002010-11-29T21:21:44.446-08:00When I was younger I used to capture moments in my...When I was younger I used to capture moments in my head to remember and revel in later. I built up a fair few over the years. Then, I had babies. And those moments I yearn to capture come so thick and fast, like a blizzard, I can't hope to keep up with it anymore. My babies will be one in February. My heart is already full-to-bursting... what will I do when they are toddlers? <br /><br />I am practicing my mommy-choly-ness.
