My Baby is Going To Be Six!

This is going to be a hard week and I am trying not to think about it too much but my baby boy is turning six on Thursday. Where has the last six years gone? I was watching him sleep last night. My boy plays hard and he sleeps hard, but what I noticed that while he was laying there his body looked so long(even though when he wakes up he is the smallest kid in his class). He was all stretched out laying there snoring and I wondered what happened to that little guy? When did he grow up? He used to fit in my lap in the rocking chair and we can still do that now but it is not that comfortable for him or me, I have to hold his legs up! He has always been a sweet boy and still is. He loves his mama and I am blessed for that. I just want to stop it all but I guess it's something that we have to do - let our little ones grow! But, why does it have to be so hard!?
