Dear Squishy,
Today you climbed up on my lap and said,
“I’m NOT baby anymore, I’m Squishy.”
While you used your real name, I looked up at my mom in horror. Had the day she been warning me about finally come to fruition?
I cried… ( a real tear people!)
My uterus ached…
Finally I turned back to you and said,
“Yes, silly boy. You are not a baby anymore, you are a big boy. But can I tell you a secret?”
I leaned in to your ear and whispered…
“You will always be MY baby.”
No matter how old, no matter what you do, you will always be my baby.
Xoxxo,
Mama

What a sweet letter, lovely idea. So sorry he is not wanting to be your baby anymore. I love what you told him though.
Would love for you to stop by and share

He is so sweet, and so handsome in his Christmas best!
This is a beautiful pic of you
Awwwwww! It’s true.
This is so true. Our babies are always our babies. I will always remember a time when my 80 something grandpa told my mother to put on a coat because it was cold outside. The love never stops.
Aww, so true! I can’t believe how big Squishy is getting! Thats a great photo of you both btw =)
What a cute story to document!
Aww it’s so bittersweet! Kiddos grow up too fast sometimes!
I agree, they will always be our babies. I tell my son that all the time and my husband always says, he is growing up into a big boy. It is amazing how fast they grow and learn.
He looks so sweet in those pictures!!!
My 2yo (almost 3) niece informed me of the same thing the other day….good thing she’s a total peanut and will stay looking small 😀
My eldest is now 17 and I still call him my baby. He’s learned to live with it.
