Happy 8th Birthday to my sweet boy🥹 I genuinely don’t know how we got here. I swear I blinked and the tiny little boy I used to hold in my arms became this big, funny, smart, kind-hearted kid standing in front of me today. Watching you start SECOND GRADE yesterday and then wake up EIGHT YEARS OLD today has me feeling every single emotion. I’m so unbelievably proud of the boy you’re becoming, but if I’m being completely honest… I’m not ready for this part. I’m not ready for the little boy years to slowly turn into memories. I’m not ready for you to need me a little less, to grow a little taller, to become more independent, and to keep moving further away from the baby I swear I just brought home yesterday🥺 You’ll always be my baby, no matter how old you get. If I could freeze time anywhere, it would be somewhere in these years.. When you still reach for us, still need our hugs, still let us make a big deal out of your birthday, and still have that little boy smile that can fix absolutely everything. Thank you for making me a mama. Thank you for giving my life a kind of love I didn’t even know existed. I hope you know that no matter how big you get, how old you are, or where life takes you, I will ALWAYS be right here cheering you on, protecting you, loving you, and thanking God for the privilege of being your mom. Happy 8th Birthday, my baby. Please stop growing. Mama isn’t ready😭🥹💙 #realisticmomlife #momtok #sahm #boymom #fyp
