This afternoon the kids had commandeered the big screen and were watching Wonder Pets. Even though I was dying to find out what distressed animal they were able to rescue, I peeled myself away and snuck into the office to watch an episode of a TV show I had missed. (I would insert the name of said show here, but I don't want to embarrass myself.) After about 15 minutes Thomas made his way into the room. He climbed up on my lap and started to watch the show with me.
I was thoroughly enjoying my snuggle with my first born when he looked up at me - I had a flashback to his birth. All of a sudden I felt the warmth of a new little baby on my chest and saw his HUGE brown eyes look into mine for the first time. I had to catch my breath. I was looking into the same big eyes, but the body had changed. Instead of fitting nice and cozy on a small section of my torso he was now stretched out across a large portion of my body. How did that happen? How has 5 years passed so quickly? How is it possible that this little baby is going to kindergarten in the fall?
Instead of hyperventilating I grabbed my camera that was within reach and started to click away. These were blind clicks. Ones that I hoped would come out even though I couldn't see through my eye piece. I was hoping to capture the feeling I was having - nothing but love
and happiness.

SO sweet, I have tears rolling down my face at the thought of my two HUGE babies in the same way! Thanks for helping me remember!
so sweet! :) I LOVE the last shot. It's hard to believe how fast they grow! Clara and Emma will be in primary in January! How on earth did that happen?
That's wonderful. Sometimes I hold my babies and think that some day they won't let me snuggle with them, they will be off and running, so I relish every moment of those snuggles. Good for you.
i always have flashbacks when i cuddle with my children. i hope they let me hold them forever!
What a beautiful, touching post! Usually I have a hard time writing comments while reading blogs because Sophie is always on my lap, but this time I just had to. It was just so very precious!
By the way, I would really like to know what TV show you were watching that you were so embarrassed to reveal!
