(Walking to the baby aisle Saturday night)
Jen: Let's go look for Christmas stuff for Turner
Tanner: Ok
Jen: Where's all the stuff for Turner? They don't have anything!
Tanner: Because we are in the baby section
Jen: Yeah, I know!
Tanner: Turner isn't a baby anymore, he needs toddler stuff.
Tanner: Jen?
Jen: Yeah? (sniff)
Tanner: Are you ok?
Tanner: Jen?
Jen: I'm ok
Tanner: Are you sure?
Jen: No. I can't believe he's not a baby anymore. (tears)
A friend of mine asked me a couple of weeks ago if I was sad about Turner turning One. I honestly answered no and said that Tanner was. Tanner moped around the week before Turner's birthday party and I guess I was so busy I wasn't thinking about it. This weekend the realization of it all set in and I was sad. When people say, "enjoy them while they're little, they don't stay that way long", they weren't joking. Don't get me wrong, I am loving every little phase Turner goes through. He's so much fun! But it's hard to move past the cuddling of the blanket bundle from a year ago when it feels like yesterday.

I am so torn about my son getting older too. I enjoy every age and stage more than the last, but I'm loving 2 so much that I don't want it to end. He's just so fun and excited about everything that it makes me realize all the little things life has to offer.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I can't wait to read more about Turner as he grows up!
