Just yesterday, Aidan cocked his head to the side and gave me this exact same look. In that split second, he was 4 years old again.

And Logan with his puppy. Oh, that puppy. He's been attached to this thing since he was a baby. And to this day, he still likes to sniff/rub it against his lip when he's upset or tired. Every time I catch him doing it, he looks like a toddler to me.

In those glimpses, I feel sad that they're not so little anymore. And then I feel guilty—as if them being older is a bad thing. It's not a bad thing, just very bittersweet. I love who they are now and who they will become, but I'll always be incredibly nostalgic and miss the time when they were my sweet, snuggly baby boys.

Such handsome little men you have.
ReplyDeleteThe snuggles are the best. I'm going to miss them terribly.
Thanks! I do still get really sweet hugs, but it's just not quite the same. Enjoy the snuggles while you can. :)
