As a matter of fact, I thought he was too clingy. He's going to be 15 in a couple of weeks and boy do I miss all of that. The occasional hug is all. If I can't get him to agree to bend over so I can give him a kiss, I'm out of luck (I'm 5'2", he's over 5'9" and still growing!). Enjoy every second of it while you can.Fancy Schmancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12820338705876627799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-85920939109061846932009-06-18T22:47:52.897-04:002009-06-18T22:47:52.897-04:00I totally understand what you mean!

Seriously, my boys are only almost 4 years old and 17 months old and I already have real anxiety over them growing up and getting married. I wish I could pick who they marry and convince them to move next door to me.

A nephew that will be 16 in August. I miss him in my lap, him holding my hand, him wanting to spend the night at my house because we would stay up late and eat ice cream in bed. <br /><br />The other day I saw him and his friends in Chipotle and he ignored me.... it couldn't have been me in cut offs and hot pink, leopard print rubber boots....<br />Hello it was raining and I don't get to wear them that often.<br /><br />And PS I ran up to him and kissed him all over his face....

Thank you. <br /><br />My oldest was 2 one day when I bawled (!) one afternoon in the *middle* of making a PB & J because I realized that there are only so many sandwiches he will ask me to make ... <br /><br />I fall a little more in love with my children each day (boys: 8 & 4). And time is just ... sigh. I don't know why they say retirement is/are the Golden Years because it feels that, with all the purpose, meaning and love here-now in my life with them around, surely THESE will be the best years of my life.jennileahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10986905142356841638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-10027964929211321152009-06-18T03:18:16.569-04:002009-06-18T03:18:16.569-04:00Nope.

I'm at varying stages of The Teenage Years, and, in truth, I love it. Watching them struggle into adulthood is hilarious and touching.

It's just how we learn to communicate. For instance, my four-year-old nanababy said to her mama (my daughter) while in their car, "Mama, it's fuckin' cold in here." My daughter turned down the a/c.

Although it leaves me unsure of how to comment. <br /><br />I enjoy my kids a lot but my eldest is only seven (and still willing to <i>hold my hand</i> in public), which may be why I don't yet have that feeling of them slipping away. Although sometimes I look at baby photos and get a lump in my throat for who they used to be, I am still at the stage where I look forward to them getting old enough to ... oh I don't know ... tidy up after themselves? <br /><br />The Daddy and I always say that we will have succeeded as parents if our children actually <i>want</i> to come home every year for Thanksgiving dinner. That's less common than some people think... And I don't believe you will be having any trouble in that regard :-)Sophie, Inzaburbshttp://www.inzaburbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-1488891352585217102009-06-17T12:16:15.902-04:002009-06-17T12:16:15.902-04:00I'm right there with you Marinka....my sons ju...I'm right there with you Marinka....my sons just graduated from high school last week and soon they will be off to college...
