In the MOMent Monday with Sarah

Filed Under: Family

My first baby boy will be turning five on February 29th! I can not believe it. Where has time gone? I was just looking at him playing on the iPad the other day thinking how grown he looked. Has it really been 5 years since he was this little?

Dustyn is now in school, can get dressed on his own and knows how to work the iPad better then me… Seems like he doesn’t need me anymore, though I know he does. He needs me to guide him and love him. Show him right and wrong. Help him grow into a man that will make me proud.

Dustyn really loves going to pre-k five days a week. I can not believe how much he has learned. Sometimes I feel guilty sending him. Since he is only 4 and he goes from 7:45-2:15. That is a long day for him. I do feel like it was the right decision for our family. He wasn’t getting enough attention at home. Carsyn has so many therapy and doctor’s appointments plus all the exercises I am suppose to do with him daily. It is hard to find one on one time with Dustyn, but I do try.

The other day we were hanging out on the couch, watching a movie, and eating popcorn. I kept kissing him and telling him how much I loved him. He looked up at me and said “Mom, stop kissing me.” Ugh. Seriously. Not looking forward to the teenage years. I am going to miss this little boy so much. He may drive me insane sometimes but I am not ready for him to grow up.

Can I just pause time please?

    Oh man, I LOVE these pictures - I can't believe how old he is already!! Glad he is loving Pre-K! If it's any consolation, not-even-3 Mason gets mad at me for trying to kiss him ALL the time. LOL

    They grow up so fast :-(. I still can't believe I have a 6 year old, 4 year old, and my baby is turning one in a month. He was an adorable little baby and I love that photo and he's a cute big boy now :-)!

    Oh, I know this bittersweet too well. It is amazing to watch them grow, but the desire to keep them little is still there. 5 is such a milestone! I can remember pics of little Dustyn in blog posts of yore!

    If only we could just pause time for JUST a little while. I found a picture of one of my nephews from when he was about 11 months old the other day. He turned 6 last month. I stuck it on the fridge just because it was so cute, but right next to it there was already his school picture from Kindergarten - he can read - like for real. Life is crazy and it goes crazy fast!

It was an adventure to get there but we finally di It was an adventure to get there but we finally did. The place we normally park was closed for repaving so we went on the hunt for a new place. It was a nice secluded spot that we might just make our new spot. The kids had a blast, I am glad it stays shallow here plus we didn’t have to worry about waves.

Can’t even see the word school. 🤣 Thankfully he has a evaluation next week to see if they can grow his chair more because he is definitely getting big for it.

Project 365 photo catch up. Can’t believe it is Project 365 photo catch up. Can’t believe it is almost the end of May! Had my hair trimmed yesterday, and my eyebrows tinted. The eyebrow dye last for about 4-6 weeks. It gradually lightens up over time. I included the photo of Annie after she did her “makeup”. This project 365 isn’t looking like I thought it would. I was hoping to use my DSLR more but end up just using my phone and using random photos I take during the day. Nothing specific or set up pretty, but it works. I’m still capturing memories.

Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point and the water was too cold for me to get in but just kept dipping my feet in the water to cool down. Unfortunately I got a terrible headache in the afternoon so had to cut the trip a little short. Next time I need to remember to bring medicine. Not sure what’s been going on lately but the last few days I have gotten headaches in the afternoon.
