My baby is five today, but I fear that I will always see him like this:
He will always be my baby. My little boy. My pal.
And he’s growing up like the rest of them.I suppose he’s finally grown out of the mei tai baby carrier that I still keep under his seat in the van.
He’s ready to be a big boy.
But I don’t know if I am.
He’s my baby. And he turns five years old today.

Happy birthday to your little man!
And, please tell him to stop growing up. It’s not right.

I hear you on this. My “baby” just turned 7. He is tall for his age. Almost reaches my shoulder. I still think of him as the curly haired toddler even as I look at his missing front teeth grin.

Turning 5 is like a turning point, they are no longer little. Hayden turns 6, pretty soon and I am having a terrible time with it.

They grow too quickly! I’m so not ready for my son to be a big boy. But even at 2, he thinks he’s already there.
