As I struggled up the stairs with him, I wondered if that would be the last time I would do that. For one thing, he's getting so big. But another, he may not ask again! Thanks for the reminder to cherish each moment! Coincidentally, have you ever read the book "Let Me Hold You Longer"? It's a children's book by Karen Kingsbury. The book talks about how we as moms focus so much on their firsts (step, word, tooth, haircut, etc.), and we don't recognize the lasts (last time they crawl in your bed, last time they want you to pick them up, last time they nurse, etc.) I strongly recommend it.

Now I am always drowning in laundry and it lost its appeal a LONG time ago!!! ;)<BR/>-K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-53964251161271970022007-12-05T05:08:00.000-06:002007-12-05T05:08:00.000-06:00I was bathing my little one recently and she was s...I was bathing my little one recently and she was splashing the water so much that I was indeed as wet as she! This was great, Brenda. You're spot on about the evolution of parenthood. Beautifully said. Thanks.Elspeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/17495546895657214080noreply@blogger.com
