This is him.
Him is nearly three. Can you believe it?
Do you remember–maybe–when I announced this pregnancy? When I cried before the ultrasound because I was afraid I’d lost him? When…wonder of wonders…he was born?
Well. I cannot believe it is almost three years later, and that my little man is growing up. Cate was telling him the other day that when he turned three he got a cake. “And when I turn four,” he added, “I’ll get another cake!”
Could not BELIEVE it when he said that.
(Evidently there is little I can believe these days.)
I am clinging–clinging–to every precious moment. I do not correct him when he says “That’s mine cup” although I do correct him when he smacks his sister.
Which he does.
And it’s cute.
But still.
I have to correct him.
Right?
So I do.
Anyway, yes, he’s talking in sentences now and pulling on his own shoes and showing off for the camera and–STOP IT RIGHT NOW!–growing up. I just thought…well…I just thought I’d talk it about it.
While I can.
While him’s still two.
I remember! I remember! I remember all the prayers said for this little baby boy. I'm always so happy to see his face.
Him is just a few months older than my littlest. I know, I know…don't grow.
I wasn't reading your blog yet for your earliest stories of Him.
My Him is almost 4 now. Waaahhh!
Wanting another little one sometimes keeps me up at night.
Continuing prayers for you
Awwwww, I know exactly how you feel.
My 2 year old is perfect, even when she yells "Go Away!!" and when she hits her sisters, I correct, but she's perfect–perfectly 2.
You've still got a couple months of hims twos.
When my fourth baby was almost 3, I got baby fever so bad, and by God's good graces, I was one month pregnant at her 3 year old birthday party. Having your baby turn three is hard for a mom, but so exciting for him!!
I remember all those moments and praying for you and for him. They do grow up too quickly, I agree.
Yes, yes & yes! I remember all of it. Thanks be to God for this precious, beautiful son of yours! Have a wonderful day! And BTW, don't you just love 3-year-olds (or almost 3-year-olds)? I have one right now and she is a gem!
I was just thinking about this yesterday. Odd that you blog about George being almost three today. I'm not sure how, but 'Margaret in MN' was brought up in conversation with my daughter. It then led to your children's ages and then my amazement in the realization that him's is almost three!!
Stop growing up little man!! We can't take it. š Keep enjoying his sweetness and please, keep on sharing it with us š
Very cute post!

That time just flew by!
Spoil him rotten. He is a special special lucky little boy.
My babe is growing up too fast also. The older sibs laugh at her naughty behavior. What-ta-do.
He always makes my heart go pitter-pat-pat. Such a cutie, that one. š
I hear ya…my baby turns two in less than a week. The older kids keep reminding me and I tell them to stop as it is too painful. Love hearing what he is up to.
My him is 15 now. I wanted him to stay 2 forever! Actually I wanted him to stay 2 months forever. He 's a wonderful 15 now though!

My hims are 23 and 21 and pay most of their own bills! Nice! But I miss those little boy days. Just don't blink…or sleep…cause that is when they grow up, I am sure! Hugs and Love you, Margaret!
Aw! I remember so well, being pregnant at the same time as you. I can't believe how fast they are growing.
