holding on.

Well, it has been an endless arguement around the house these days about "making" Lucas moving on from this baby phase of his. It's really bittersweet. One part of me wants to hold onto his babyhood just a little longer, and one part of me wants to break free of it. I have been in this phase with one child or another for almost the last 7 years. After that long, It is so hard to see the otherside of it, it is SCARY to see the otherside of it. You see, I know that no matter how long this transition phase from baby to big kid takes, I know that no one part of of it will last very long. Before long,he will no longer like playing blocks and marbles with his Mom and he'll be begging for a Wii. He'll give me a look when I go to hug him goodbye before school. AND, he'll be going to school instead of splitting lunch with me. It just all goes by way to fast. I'm afraid that by the time we get the basement playroom done that we have been dreaming of---no one will be down there they'll all be off with their friends. I so enjoy the days when all that matters are the simple things. I really don't want it to end.
