Ladies-
Bought ds his first pair of shoes this weekend. He's been hitting a lot of milestones, but none of them hit home quite like this one for me. I got a little tight in the chest when we fitted him with his first pair of shoes.
Do you/ have you felt like this?
When did it first happen for you?
Just thought to share. I'd be interested to hear about your moments.
Giving up the bottle and the breast. We're working on both and doing well. A part of me is sad because it symobolizes the official end of babyhood.
They just keep coming. O. after another as they grow.
I took my son & his bud (both 8) to see Smurfs on Sunday.
They were "too cool" to sit in the same row with me...but not too cool to go to see Smurfs!?
Oh that's sweet! I got a bit teary just a few weeks ago when my 3 year old went down the slide at the pool! You have to be able to swim from the end of the slide to the rope and she's been trying all winter to swim! When she did it all by herself and was so proud of herself I seriously got teary...over a water slide! ;)
And Denise, I seriously did LOL at your son and his friend! Funny!
Potty-training... it's great, don't get me wrong but there's nothing "baby" about him anymore! He's a walking, talking, pottying little person! It was right after he was officially potty-trained that we decided it was time to start trying for another one!
I just remember looking at my daughter near the slides in a playground and being stunned to realize, she's no longer a baby! She's a toddler! When did THAT happen?! I know how you feel!
I didn't get my kids shoes tila year old and I didn't get mushy over it. To me, it wasn't a big deal or an achievement - it was something that I did, I chose to buy them shoes. I don't really remember getting super mushy about stuff, except when my youngest called me "MAMA" the first time. I don't remember it with my oldest and it wasn't her first word anyway. Enjoy these very precious moments, all of them. It goes by so fast. At the time, it felt like those moments would last forever, and big kidness was way off, but now I'm being driven around parking lots and visiting colleges
When I bought my oldest boys socks I cried......Then when I bought him mens socks I cried. lol I also cried when I bought my youngest boys socks and undies. It hit me they are growing up. I had to buy my daughter some clothes in the women's section and almost cried.......she gave me a look though so i didn't. ;)
My daughter took her first steps this weekend ( she will be 1 in 2 weeks) I cried for an hour. Her twin brother has started to way bye...makes me want to cry everytime, seems like just yesterday they were tiny little newborns :)
Well, my little one got so many shoes as gifts that I didn't really have that reaction... But the BIG milestone for me, that showed me that I don't have a baby anymore were potty training and pacifier weaning... She is going to be 4, but was still a baby to me...
