One way ticket to Never-Never Land

Sometimes I’d like to buy one for James. Because time is going by faster than I’d like it to, and my Chubby Jubbers (apparently I’m not allowed to call him that now), is growing up faster than I’d like him to.

But I know it wouldn’t be fair to want him to stay a baby forever. I know long gone are the days when he would willingly let me put a plumeria flower on his head. He has years ahead of memories to make, happy and sad days to share, and I will be proud to be a part of many of them.

One such milestone happened today! His first day in the first grade, in his brand new school! And of course I had to snap some photos in the morning before dropping him off :)

He wasn’t *too* excited to be posing for me saying, “It’s too early, Mommy!”

Here’s his “ok, that’s enough” face lol

But he let me take just one more…

.
…because even though he will inevitably grow up, I’ll always have these photographs of him as my baby Jamers to treasure for as long as God will allow me to.

And even this morning, I think I had more butterflies than he did, as we entered his classroom and said good morning to his teacher. And as I hugged and kissed him goodbye, he said, “It’s ok mommy, I’ll see you later again when you pick me up!”
