Too quickly

"Time will fly," they say. "Don't blink." Whoever they are...they're right.  I can't believe how fast you are growing up. Just last month you turned 4. FOUR! With our ninja turtle masks on, we played and sang, ate spaghetti, and opened up toys that screamed, "I'm not a baby anymore!!!" Remote control cars and planes, electronic dinosaurs, Hot Wheels, and a scooter fill our living room.

Why am I writing this now? After almost a year and a half of no stories. Lost memories?

Because right now, Carter, you are snuggled up next to me in the big bed after asking, "Can I sleep with you for just a lil bit?" We know you really mean all night. We can't say no. I love seeing your sweet face dreaming. Even though you told me a second ago, "No I don't want to snuggle," and "Mom, get off! You're laying on my Spider-Man monster truck," these are treasures I'm storing up in my heart.

I love you more than I could ever express.
