Only Human

So, Alex and I were having a moment- he was cuddling on my lap (well, trying at least!) and I was telling him how I remember when he was little and I’d rock him to sleep and all he would want me to do is hold his feet. And now, his feet just don’t fit in my hand and he doesn’t fit in my lap. I then told him he has to stop growing, that I freeze him in time with my mom power and he leans in to hug me and says,”That’s how the human body works. I’m going to keep growing.” ah, the wisdom of a 5 year old.
