Bittersweet dichotomy

Today my baby is seven. And I’m a little bit sad. And I’m a little bit glad.

Such is the bittersweet dichotomy of motherhood.

Happy birthday, Trouble. Mommy loves you.

    My youngest boy will be 8 next week. God solved the problem of his being the baby when he sent The Princess last year. But it still makes my heart ache a bit and be glad at the same time. Happy Birthday to your SuperTrouble!

    Ain’t that the truth, sister! Seems like yesterday, they were just little bundles in our arms, so vulnerable… too soon they grow up and start to lead their own lives. And shape ours as well… Happy Mother’s Day!

    Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. . . and land straight in the middle of his mommy’s heart. No way to leap out of there, though.

    What a boy. What a mom. What a God.

    We did the SAME THING when our little guy turned 7 this year. We said, ‘we’re pretending to be happy that you’re 7′! He just laughed :)
    Happy Mother’s Day, Darcy!

    Your title sums up mommyhood in a nutshell. *sigh*

    By the way, the picture of Trouble in a cape with medals on is perfection!

  27. Awww, what a cute shot! Our youngest is 18 months, I can hardly bring myself to imagine the day when my youngest is 7, and then 8, and then 9… It’s emotional enough watching the olders advance through their years!
