Wow, I remember those days. It sure does tug at your heart, doesn't it? You'll have more of those moments. Cherish every one of them!

I remember when one of my boys moved out on his own. He had packed up everything and I was standing at the door waiting for him to leave. He got to the door, turned around and looked right into my eyes and said, "Thanks for everything, mom," and gave me a big bear hug.

Guess that's when you know you did okay.

Omg I feel for you Mom, I know the feeling my baby boy will be 20 soon and even though he is 6/2 and I am only 5/3 he is my beautiful baby boy, but at the same time sadly he is a man. Truly where does time go .Do we all not wish they coulds stay small for just a few more moments..... Peace. catherine

I'm with you, too. My 13 year old needs to start, and I keep dragging my feet. He's my last "little boy", though he's bigger than I am.

I am finding fewer and fewer people at the dinner table, and that's when it can really hit me if I am having a melancholy day.

I miss my babies.

My 16 yo needs to start but refuses..they grow up so fast. How old is your son ?

I had to go through this same thing this summer with my 16yr old ds for summer camp. He had to cut his hair short and shave for camp. When he came out of the bathroom clean shaven, I didn't recognize him. He looked so young. I was so used to him with long hair and beard, I didn't realize how much older he looked, til he shaved. After I dropped him off at camp, I went back to my hotel and cried.
Where did my baby go? (sniff, sniff)
Judy

Wait till he lives 650 miles away and says "what" when he answers the phone LOL.

Awwww, I know how you feel!

I had a moment last night. My 15 yo ds did the polka with me at the Oktoberfest. It was so sweet and endearing!

That's a memory to keep forever!!!!

Yes it is!

Especially since neither of us have any clue how to do the polka! It was a sight to see, I am sure. ;D


and I loved it.

What does everyone;s son call you, I mean my son calls me momma. kindly share. Peace. Catherine

My 15 yr. old son would rather have his pitching arm amputated than dance the polka w/ me-exactly how much beer did you let your son drink at Oktoberfest????lol...
The shaving thing didn't bother me so much. The deodorant thing did-especially when three of my sons needed it around the age of eight. Now just waiting for the baby (he's six) to stink. Thank goodness for deodorant coupons.

Oh good.. we just got my 7yr old to start using deodorant. It's horrible after he's been running around. Glad at least that we're not the only ones. I thought this was way too young, but Dr. said it's not unheard of.

Oldest is 15 I offered just to tweeze them and he gave me a weird look lol

I'm starting to chase my 10 year old with the deodrant to. He was in karate and then come out when it was really hot out and get in the mini van with OMG I had to roll the windows down all the way, Phew!


I finally got oldest to understand that Axe and that other one like Axe, make him stink in just in another way. Never could understand those commercials for them, girls flying out of no where cause it smells "so good" Ewwww I was going the opposite direction!
