Just a year ago your world revolved around Thomas the Train & Friends, this year, it is all about Cars.
Just months ago you were overcome with anxiousness at swim lessons and now you can lap the entire length of the pool all by yourself.
Just weeks ago you started your second year of preschool with calmed nerves but an ever curious mind still working at full throttle.
Just this morning we sat across from one another and had breakfast; a bagel with cream cheese and grapes for you, toast and tea for me. Soon afterwards, I put a shirt on you that I knew was too small but was still hoping would fit.
Just this afternoon I picked you up from school and was greeted, as usual with your brilliant smile and a welcoming hug.
Just hours ago we were decorating Halloween cookies together with our friends and you were licking orange and black frosting from your finger tips.
Just hours ago you were sprawled out in bed, your friends next you watching a movie and having “real” conversations with one another.
Just minutes ago I was reading you a Berenstain Bears book about dinosaurs; prehistoric creatures with names I need help pronouncing but for you, they effortlessly roll off your tongue.
Just now I watch you sleep quietly by my side. I count your breaths, drink in your sweet scent and wonder what tomorrow will bring.

Beautifully written, T! Lucas is truly growing into an adorable and brilliant little boy! I also wish I could stop time to make the most of each and every second! At this very moment, N has fallen asleep on the couch next to me, and I’m lovin’ it 🙂
The words to this post came to me as I felt and listened him breathing and watched him sleeping. Such peace. Such love.
It’s amazing how quickly time flies and how fast they grow up. These little moments will be memories all too soon.
Yes and in so many ways they already are. Sigh….
Beautiful job capturing the little things that add up to become our days, our weeks, our years.
All of it goes so fast when we stop and break it down, doesn’t it?

Too quickly. Mush to quickly.
This is awesome, Tonya. It’s amazing how even in just a few minutes they grow so fast…and then suddenly we can see baby again. So beautiful.
Yes. Three is still really little when you think about it.
Love this and the reflections of different times.
It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed seeing the progression.
