I know that God’s plan is perfect.
I know His spirit children are meant to come to earth in tiny bodies.
I know they are meant to be adored.
And cherished.
And protected.
I know they are meant to grow.
And become very round.
And chubby.
I know they are meant to pull off their socks.
Two feet at a time.
I know they are meant to laugh.
And feel the love of their families.
I know they are meant to delight their parents with incredible hair.
And sprout endearing vampire teeth.
And light up with joy at the little things.
I know they are meant to be expressive.
And charming.
I know they are meant to climb the growth charts at the doctor’s office.
I know they are meant to become big brothers.
With absolute adoration.
And overflowing enthusiasm.
And I know…
that eventually…
… my little baby is meant to turn two.
But it still hurts my heart.
And it still makes me cry.
What a beautiful post, and what beautiful pictures. :) They do grow up a little too fast, don’t they?? I always have such mixed feelings while watching my babies grow up…on the one hand I’m so proud of everything that child is learning and accomplishing…but on the other hand I wish I could just find the “pause” button and hang onto their little-ness just a while longer. Or to be able to hit “rewind” and visit that phase once again. sigh…
Happy Birthday, Scooters!! :)
OH! And the pictures with him pulling his socks off really made me giggle – SO adorably funny! And am I the only one amazed at how stretchy socks are?? :D
Brought back memories of adorable Scooters growing up…but then growing up is part of the plan. Glad you fully understand the great value of caring for a child.
Happy Birthday Scooters surely you cannot be 2 yet.
It goes so fast. What a cute little guy!
