It's happening, fast! My babies have turned into big boys. It's so bittersweet. I love seeing them grow up but as they shed little bits of their babyhood I do feel a sense of loss. It's a little more profound with my youngest. He has left the paci behind (we weren't sure that would ever happen by the way). One day soon he may also stop asking for his lovey blanket.

So, for now, I am trying very hard to stay in the moment and really enjoy them. I know that we are supposed to be role models for them but in a lot of ways they are great role models for me. I watch them and I see that they really live in the moment and they are so emotionally available and love (and cry, fight, argue...) with their whole hearts.  They love me, too, so completely and without reservation or strings. I try and take a cue from that too.

So, here they are, my sweet big boys...
