I love you My little Angel
Im a big boy, I heard you say
No more rattles or baby toys
You only need cars and trucks now
Cos mummy im a big boy
I heard you say
No more feeding you mush from a spoon
You only need a fork, chips and nuggets now
Cos I am a big boy now mummy
I heard you say
No more sleeping in a crib snuggled up tight
You only sleep in a big bed sprawled across now
Cos cribs are for babies and im a big boy
I heard you say
No more baby seats in the car
You only need a booster and seat belt now
Cos im not a baby mummy im a big boy
I heard you say
No more special seats in the bath
You only sit in the tub and slash
Cos I don't need that mummy, im a big boy Now
I heard you say
No more cuddles and kisses then I asked ???
Of course I need those mummy
Im only a little boy
I heard you say

Mother of three BIG BOYS now (the "biggest" being 3 1/2) - I really like this one!  He is precious!  Your writing made me almost miss those little baby things - like the crib, and the cuddles - until I thought of the diapers.  Sure it nice to have a "big boy" now!

Enjoy him!

Julie! I am so pleased that you posted a photo of your son! I cannot believe how much he has grown! It just seems like yesterday that he was born! Gosh, time sure does fly!

An adorable poem that will be a wonderful keepsake for him! I am happy that you each have the other!

Sending love to a fine mother and her precious son!

A delightful read and lovely picture of your little/big boy.  Enjoy him because the years pass all too quickly.  Hmm?  Or do they?  I have boys aged 27, 23, and 21, and in many ways they are still "little boys" but I'm privileged now to enjoy moments of role reversal when they sort of mother their mother.  It's all great!

He is sooo cute!! I love  what these little one's say. They are so natural.

I was working with autistic children this week and one little boy took my hand and laid his cheek against it and smiled up at me.. I said to another teacher, I think he likes me~~ and she said why wouldn't he...made my day.

An adorable write, Julie.

This is delightful! Beautiful little, sorry BIG BOY!

They know perfectly well, when they want to be "a big boy" and when "a little one" ... may those kisses and hugs always feel appropriate throughout the whole life!

Love,
Margherita
