My Baby Is Growing Up!!

I know I am not alone in this feeling- I am so sad that my little baby is growing up. Of course being as I have two older children this isn't the first time I have had this feeling, but knowing that Elijah is my last baby makes this time just a little sadder for me. I know that it is inevitable-but why oh why can't he just stay little until his Carter's wear out? Elijah has been in desperate need of a haircut for a long time now, but as usual it hasn't been on the top of the priority list money wise. Well on Saturday my sister Sara came over with her clippers and offered to cut it, and apprehensively I said yes. I thought we had settled on using the largest clip, but apparently not, (maybe a lack of communication, or just the way the stylist wanted it- I don't know). Well off with his hair, and the vast majority of it at that! He has a buzz cut which is not a style I have ever been a fan of. I know it will grow back, and I know that I should be grateful that my sister cut it instead of my having to pay someone to do it, but oh how I miss those blonde locks!! He doesn't even look like my little boy anymore- he looks like a big boy (pouty face). It has been a few days now and I am getting use to it, and have to admit he looks darn cute. I guess mommy's just want to hold on to the smallest thing until it is apparent that they can't hold on any longer. Elijah will be three next month and is by no means a baby, but he will always be my little baby. Well to all you mommy's out there- cherish every second because before you look the seconds turn into minutes, and weeks, and months, and years.
