This picture was taken when he was not quite two,
and it's one of those ones
that I think I shall save to show future girlfriends.
"I am a princess!" he had told me with big happy grin,
when he saw me watching him play
dressed in his sister's poncho
and princess tiara.

Today my little Hero turns five.
Dreams of royalty now thankfully abandoned,
he now aspires to be an astronaut when he grows up,
"because I can't really be another spiderman, can I?"

When I wished my big boy a happy birthday
as he woke up this morning,
he asked:
"I don't feel like being a big boy.
Can I still be your baby, mamma?"

How sweet, how touching, he will one day realize that he will always be your baby...
My two year old granddaughter recently took offence when I mentioned she was my baby...she said I am not a baby...I am a girl...:)
Yes, oh yes! He'll always be your baby. Adorable!
As I look at my sons, no 39, 27 and 25, I, sometimes have trouble recounting their precious baby years. They grow up so fast. Of course, they are wonderful now but I wish I could travel back into time to those baby days!!
