My Baby is turning 9!!!!







Last month I thought it sad to watch my little girl turn 7, but now that Michael is turning 9 this week seems impossible. Where has the time gone!!! He didn't even want a real party, he just wanted to have a friend over for the afternoon. I was looking at his baby book and remembering how much he needed me and depended on me. Yeah I know he still needs me and depends on me but just not the same way. For example he now pours his own drinks, pours drinks for his younger siblings, he starts his own shower, (completely freaks if I walk in on him), and won't even give me a hug in the morning before the bus comes. Although I did manage to get one the other day, but I did tell him if he didn't do it then I would wait until the bus came and run out and kiss him in front of all the kids. A little mean yes I know but hey desperate times call for desperate measures!!! And it is reassuring to know that he is independent and able to take care of himself a little, but still sad to me! And for now I still have Matthew who will hug and kiss me anytime! Especially if he thinks he is making daddy jealous. Matthew will tell you he is not a baby, but he is mommy's baby, and that he will always be mommy's baby. I wonder how much longer that will last. Anyway, so Saturday Michael had his friend Connor over. Connor is a friend he met in pre-school, but no longer goes to school with. And they had so much fun!
