My baby turns 20 today 🥺
His once pronounced dimples are hidden behind his beard. His once tiny toes buried in size 14 shoes. His once short blond hair now dark and flowing past his shoulders. His once high pitched laugh exchanged for the severe bass drop belly laugh that would make Santa proud. And his once “little guy” status shattered as I have to look up to talk to him.
Time is such a weird but beautiful thing as I’ve watched him transform into a man. But every time I look into the eyes that haven’t changed one bit I see the little boy with a bowl cut that would look up to me while he was attached to my hip. I can’t believe how right my aunts…and practically every women I knew 20 years ago was when they said to savor the moments when your kids are little because the time flies by that quickly.
We’re spending the day together like we used to and I’ve already got the mental scrapbook ready to save all the epic memories we’re about to make. I have a feeling we’re both going to be young again 😌
