Growing

I was struck today by how big my little boy is getting. He tells me as much, just about everyday. Today he wanted to go through the "short cut" with Sissy on our way home from picking her up from school. He looked at me and said "mom, I'm a big boy now". So I let him go with his Sister. At church they told me he has outgrown the nursery. Can he really be big enough to sit with the big kids? My baby? My little boy? Just doesn't seem possible. I want to freeze time, keep him my little boy who still needs help on the swing, who still wants me to sleep with him and tell him silly stories. I miss him already.
