Spinoff to pmpkn's post.... (warning - totally depressing...)
The other night I began bawling to DH about this....
All of the little things that make up who Cailen is right now will be gone forever someday...
All of his little baby things....
- the way he squeals after his bath wrapped up in his pony towel with his little bare feet kicking around
- the way he smiles that huge drooly smile when I open his diaper and say "ewwww - poopy... yuckies!!!"
- The way he balls up his fists and sucks on them as he stares and stares around him
- the way he giggles when I grab his chubby thigh and say "squishies!!!"
- The way he lies in his bath hammock with all this trust in me as I wash him with his washcloth and pour water from the little green cup... and the way he tries to catch the water with his hand, looking at his hands in amazement (where did it go????)
- The way he lies against me sideways, staring and staring at me, giving me his sleepy smile as I make kissy faces at him while we are lying on the couch together
- the way his whole teeny tiny little body "hugs" me when I lift him up after he wakes up from his nap, and he puts his little head on my shoulder as I carry him upstairs to change him
All of these things will one day be gone
 Yes, they will be replaced with so many other wonderful things that will make him distinctly, wonderfully, and magically "Cailen" but those sweet little baby things that only baby Cailen will do will be gone...
Thats when DH tells me that the biggest life lesson in parenthood is letting go. Thats what being a parent is all about. You always have to let go to a piece of them as they become more and more their own person everyday....

Re: Spinoff to pmpkn's post.... (warning - totally depressing...)
Nothing is wrong with you, you're a mom! 
I get this way a lot. The way he goes in a high pitched voice "mamamamama" lol, and how he "dances" when music comes on, and gives me baby kisses on my cheek (where his mouth just touches my cheek, no real kiss, lol).
I know these will end....and he will be a big boy and not a baby, but he will always be my "baby" lol! It is VERY hard to imagine letting go. That is why i try taping some things and taking pics...
When i see that saying "if they could only stay this little..." I tear up

Yeah, but a girl and her daddy is different than a boy and his mommy... eventually he's not going to want to be a mamas boy... every girl can always be a daddys girl and its cute and socially acceptable....

Well let me tell you a little bit about Mom's and son's.
She was my best friend and I could always go to her with anything. We had a great relationship and as I go older I became HER protector and shoulder to cry on. When she was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer I was there every step of the way. Through all the tests and such. Holding her hand and telling her that it was all going to be okay, even though I knew it wouldn't be. I think your relationship with you son is what you make it and if there is trust and respect then he will be a "mamma's boy" only in a good way.
I'm 6'5" 275lbs and if loving your mom till the day she dies makes me a mamma's boy them I'm proud to be one.
Thanks for making me cry

Thank-you very much.
I agree! Thank you for sharing that 
But this expression worries me: Your daughter's your daughter for the rest of your life. Your son's a son until he takes a wife

Re: Spinoff to pmpkn's post.... (warning - totally depressing...)
Ok I am going to cry soon...
Some of Matthew's baby things that will be gone one day:
The way he blows kisses
The way he waves
The way he laughs when I grab his thighs and squeeze them.
The way he walks now. Like a little waddling duck...
The way he sits up after waking up from a nap and gives you this huge smile...
The way he stalks the cat... (it's really funny watching the cat run and hide)
The way he adamantly says "mama" when you tell him to say dada
The way he attaches himself to my mother's hip (my poor mother)
The way he smiles when DH comes home from work.
The way he claps. Especially when he sits there and claps for no reason. Also the way he claps after you cheer him on for something he did...

But what if your son takes a husband? Lol! Then you're still the woman in his life!
Sorry just wanted to interject some humor in there!

Re: Spinoff to pmpkn's post.... (warning - totally depressing...)
I know exactly what you mean. Just last night, I "yelled at" DH because for about 2 weeks now I've been asking him to get out the video camera and film some of the stuff she's doing now that will soon be gone. The thing that set it off last night was that she used to say "Ginky" when she needed her pacifier, and she now says it right -- "Binky". I told him he better show me how to operate the camera so I can do it myself before all this stuff is gone forever!

Re: Spinoff to pmpkn's post.... (warning - totally depressing...)
I thought about that since the minute DS was in our home and still to this day. My parents would make fun of me that I would sit and cry for the first 2 weeks of his life because in my eyes he was just getting older and I wouldn't have that day anymore. Now I get sad whe n I see him playing with his toys quietly. For some reason it hasn't hit me yet with DD. It upsets me to think I won't have a newborn in the house again.

Re: Spinoff to pmpkn's post.... (warning - totally depressing...)
ok..I am crying...
think of it like this..I learned after the first two-and then 8 years of infertility and now blessed with the twins.
You realize all this will be gone one day! that makes one one step ahead of alot of people--u know to take it alllllllllllll in and appreciate the good the bad the ugly..and my son is a mammas boy and its great.
He is in 7th grade and tells me EVERYTHING.
who is cute--who is nice-who is mean-who does inappropriate things-he shares everything with me.
He still thinks its cool to kiss me goodbye outside the school too-I hope my two little boys r the same.
