In this picture you might see a pinkish pale, weird looking little creature that sort of makes you wonder if it could possibly be a troll….? You see a squished-up nose and splayed lips and the outstretched hand sorta maybe makes you think of a zombie and then you think about cake. And then you’re not wondering what the bloody hell is going on in this picture, because you’ve lost focus, and quite frankly, you didn’t really care that much about it in the first place.
In this picture I see something completely different.
I see my beautiful mistake. I see a kiss. A kiss that comes through the shower door. He’s on the inside. I’m on the outside. No longer does he have to be cradled in my hands and bathed in my lap in the bath. He can shower by himself. Wash himself. Entertain himself in the shower by blowing me kisses and peeing down the drain and drawing with his willy on the glass door.
I see my little boy, growing up.
Not needing me as much anymore.
Aaaahhh … he still needs you! Can’t wait for Luca to start drawing on the shower door with his willy HAHAHA!!! x

I’m nearly 23 and there are still days I need my mommy, so I wouldn’t worry too much.
aaawwww that brought tears to my eyes. It is so bitter sweet when they grow up. It is wonderful to see them grow but sad that the baby is gone too
Seriously weird picture!
In a mother’s eyes, one’s child is always, always special and the most beautiful child there are.

if there’s one thing i’ve learned in parenting a boy & having a younger brother, it is this… boys ALWAYS need their mommies. whether, it’s when they’re 4 and can’t get their big boy legos apart OR when they’re 28 and have basket-fulls of dirty laundry to wash. i think you’ll be good. for a lifetime.
Damn it WOMAN! I am bawling over here, I didn’t want to cry today.
