Life as we know it in sub-suburbia.

Pause

I need a pause button. If anyone has some free time and can invent a life pause button that would be great. My baby is getting too big, too quickly and I just need to pause for a minute. I don't want to stop, because I want him to grow and learn and experience all the amazing things this life has to offer, but I feel him squirming away from me already, too fast. Where did my little bundle of sweet sleepiness go? The little munchkin who used to just lay in my arms for hours and let me hold him while he slept? He's been replaced by a twisting, turning, crawling, almost walking incredible little creature who I love even more today than I did yesterday, which will be outdone by the love I fell tomorrow. Sometimes I feel as if I'm going to burst, physically burst, from all the emotion that this 17 pound little boy fills me with. I have found my purpose in life through this little man, but if we could just pause, just a moment....
