A little flashback

I have had a little boy staying with me for a few hours a day last week and part of this week.  His Mom is recoving from a surgery so while he's visiting the grandparents he's come over to my house during the day while the grandparents work.  He turned three earlier in September and has been a lot of fun.  He is a very sweet, smart little guy.

Having a 3 year old has made me think of my 7 year old and what he was like at 3.  In some ways it seems so long ago that Caleb was 3 and others it seems like just yesterday.  I've realized how grown up and independent my boy is now.  It has reminded me of all the things I used to do for Caleb...fixing his drinks, putting on shoes, tying shoes, helping in the bathroom, holding him up to reach the sink to wash his hands, reading to him, singing to him before nap.  I no longer do all these things for Caleb.  I had kind of forgotten all the things I at one time did all the time for my boy. 

I'm so proud of my boy and all the things he can do and continues to learn.  I'm glad he still needs me and hope he always feels close to me and knows I'm always going to be here for him, however old he may be!    

Have a day of blessings!
