Moving Forward

I am not ready for my baby to grow up.  There, I said it.
He is starting to talk, run, and jump.  He is his own person with a heavy dependence on his parents.
Not ready.  Not yet.
I still want to swoop him into my arms and snuggle him like a tiny baby.
It wasn't THAT long ago!
No fair.  He is my first and last baby.  I have to try to let go and move on with him.  He's ready.
