I cherish the way his body smells, his small head tucked under my chin, hair tickling my nose. He often will throw one arm over my body and tangle his fingers in my hair. He is getting close to the point he stops fitting under my chin now...and I watch him grow with a bit of sadness...my last baby ...both my husband and I will awake when we hear the feet in the hallway...he stops at the door and peeks in. Often I have to tell him to come in. He climbs up next to me and snuggles in. Somedays I find him in bed with one of his older brothers...I rejoice that we have a household where my youngest can find saftey at night not just with mom and dadd - but with his two older brothers two... my two eldest still do this from time to time (10 and 8)…my youngest much more often (5).

My 12 and 11 year olds still show up, one or the other, sometimes both. Part of me loves it, another part wishes it would stop so my husband and I could have a whole night undisturbed, and still another part knows that it will end some day...and then I will miss it. I really liked your whole perspective on it. Thanks for putting it like that. I’ve got to book mark this. My 12 and 11 year olds still show up, one or the other, sometimes both.

But I cherish every moment with my sweet grand baby and am thankful for this special season of grand parenting. I miss those sweet times with the kids now that they are grown.

We should treasure the time. Thanks for the reminder that they will soon be too big to jump in bed with us. We should treasure the time.
