Meet my little buddy. He’s about to turn four and couldn’t be more excited. I wish I could be four again where your biggest concern is snack time and playtime. Aw, the good life.
As a parent, four is such a challenging age for us. Consciously, you know that your child is no longer a baby anymore, but in your heart they’ll always be your baby. It’s exciting, yet bittersweet to see them turning into “big kids.” I speak from experience; I’m the type of mom who cried for two weeks when her first born started kindergarten and still cries every time they have a birthday. I always feel like I’m on borrowed time - waiting for them to just spread their wings and fly.
And although we wish we could stop the hands of time and keep them little bitty forever; the beautiful thing is we can capture these types of moments and keep them as treasures forever. One day we can look back at all the images of our babies and remember the times that were. But in the meantime, seeing how big they’re getting is also a great reminder to slow down and enjoy all that raising children can bring.
Happy Birthday, My Little Buddy. Slow down the aging process, will ya? 
~Peace, Love, Joy & Abundance~
