Today my little boy had his fourth birthday party.
I I was so proud of him as he successfully rode his new bike on the first try!! (I mean, he really had no choice. He was surrounded by beautiful little girls and simply had to deliver!)
I am in love with the way he furrowed his little brow and opened those presents like it was serious business.
He was so excited about his (dairy and gluten free) cupcake, and he blew those candles out with only one three tries!
I was so happy to see him loving his party, but deep down I was feeling a little emotional that he is getting so big. Thank goodness I am homeschooling him for Preschool or I would have been in a puddle on the floor.
I held it together. Well, until bedtime, when this one decided to throw a straw on the camel's back and say a new word. (You know, just to rub it in that they are both growing up.) And it was quite a word. An adorable, endearing, cuddly little word that just broke this mommy's heart. While giving my mom a little night-night snuggle, he looked up into her eyes and said "Huuuggg...huuuggg." Then he reached for me and laid his head on my chest. "Huuuggg...huuugggg."
I lost it, and Matt was ready for it. When I turned my head to try (unsuccessfully!) to blink the tears away he was staring at me with that "I-know-you're-heartbroken- that-they're-growing-up-but-it's-gonna-be-OK-babe" look.
And he is right. It is OK. In fact, it is AMAZING and I'm loving every minute!
Happy birthday B2!
And Little Man, you can give mommy a huuugggg whenever you want!
