I don’t do sentimentality. I struggle with it. Me? I just get on with stuff. I don’t do “sappy”. I just don’t deal with it.
But then came Isaac.
Isaac and his 2nd birthday, which crept up on me and slapped me in the face when, quite honestly, I wasn’t expecting it.
I wasn’t expecting it because he’s my baby. Noah? Is my “big guy”. He’s my soldier. Isaac? He is my baby.
I can’t believe he’s two. It’s not for lack of trying. Believe me, I try. But it’s so easy to forget. So very easy. (clickem to biggem.)
He’s been at school all day today, so we haven’t celebrated his birthday properly yet. Actually, sorry, he’s been at the nursery which leads on to the main school he will attend. I’ve always called it school. But doesn’t he seem so young? I guess not. I don’t know. He’s my baby…right? Will he always be my baby? Am I aging him? I don’t want to age him…
I want to blame these feelings on being broody. But fact is, I don’t think I’m broody, I think I’m just realising how much I love this kid as he is now. He is so. Very. Awesome. Sometimes I look at him and I physically ache, because I can’t take him all in. I can’t get enough of him. And I know that I can’t comprehend him being older, just because I love him so much, so very much, as he is now.
He’s so awesome right now. So gorgeous. So funny. So smart. Of course I love watching him to grow up! The kid is AWESOME.
But I want to him grow up, and yet stay the same as he is. That’s hard to deal with.
I shield my own heart with all my might. I don’t want it to break. One day it will, but I’m sure it will be for all the right reasons.
I think he’s always going to be a heart-breaker.

Happy Birthday Issac=) x
G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. THE END.
And also HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE MAN!!!! xxxxxxxx
Oh he is definitely going to be a heart breaker, though I pity the fool women who tries to get your baby's love away from you, the most important women in his . . . sorry 'the' world
!
Happy birthday to your gorgeous boy!
Happy Birthday gorgeous little Isaac! Beautifully written post. It tapped into something in me as it is exactly how I feel about Alexander, my second-born baby boy.
Awwww Happy Birthday Isaac! He's just gorgeous.
I know how you feel right now…Freya was 2 in March and it didn't hit me at all but we went to the school she'll attend after nursery this week (yesterday actually) to drop her form off. She wanted to join in with all the big kids and seeing them all in their uniforms just broke my heart. We got back in the car and I looked at her in the rear view mirror and I started crying. WTF? I think my hormones are playing havoc. I plan to blog about my craziness next week.
Hope you have a lovely weekend celebrating the little mans birthday…just remember he'll always be your baby. My Mum says she still thinks of me as her baby sometimes and I'm 37 this year FFS!
My oldest son is 34, the next 32. Then I waited and couldn't bear not to have another – she's 20.
And, yes, my heart breaks a little every time they go back to their homes and their lives.
Sometimes it's rather nice when they go – I have a full fridge again, and I don't trip over size 10 shoes. And they are great cooks (because I'm so bad they had to learn). And we laugh and discuss politics and books and … – just as if they were adults and not my babies!
That love never goes away but it does change (well, it has for me). I have my own life back after years of mummying. Different. But good.
Enjoy.
Happy birthday Isaac!! You're right to be a proud mummy – he's scrumptious. And yes. He'll be a heartbreaker…
Happy Birthday to Isaac! Gorgeous boy!!
This just illustrates that it has been too long since I have seen you lot. Will be scheduling a trip to Brom as soon as hubby leaves town again. Post HASTE!
Happy Birthday Issac! When I see you next I will bring the blueberries, big guy!
Did I say Brom…WTF…Brum…
This post made me cry. I feel the same about Aaron and his imminent 1st birthday xx
oh wow, you've just summed all the feelings I have right now for my daughter who is 22 months, she is turning in to this bright funny little being and she has me under a spell where I love her so much I could eat her! happy birthday to your little one. x
Happy birthday to your gorgeous little boy x x x
Happy Birthday Issac! A gorgeous little boy! My Miss C is 2 in 3 weeks time and like you I just can't believe it. She's still my baby, always will be. I just can't believe how quickly they grow up!
Happy Second Birthday Isaac, he is gorgeous! I don't think it matters how old your children are, mine will always be my babies to me (sorry that's a bit sentimental and sappy isn't it… don't read that bit!)
Emma
He's beautiful. As are you. Happy birthday celebrations xxx
Sorry I missed this post! You have my sympathy, I cried when Kieran turned two, because, as I wailed at my husband.."I *sniff* can't count *sob* his age in months anymore!!!!". After being 8m, 9m etc suddenly he was TWO YEARS OLD.
Hideous!
That said, Kieran is 5 in July and will have done a whole year at school (reception), I may cry a little then too.
you are spot on here. I feel just the same about my geekyboy. He is so perfect just as he is RIGHT NOW. (which is 3. I felt the same when he was two, too). But he will only be just as he is for such a short time. How dare they grow up? But how wonderful they will be when they do. Happy birthday sweet baby.
Sniff sniff…SNIFF. Happy Birthday Isaac, oh he's so totally gorgeous. Have a hug from me (mama) and a bacon sarnie. Sniff xx
I totally 100% get this! That's all that needs to be said.
Happy Birthday little boy – lets not make you a man just yet!
Happy birthday little one he's so gorgeous x
Gorgeous, gorgeous boy! Happy belated birthday x
I can't believe your baby is two either! Where has that time gone? I also didn't realise he shared a birthday with my second son. Lovely pics and I hope Isaac had a great birthday.
Aw, what a cutie. Happy belated birthday, little dude.
Loved reading this post. I completely understand what you mean. Gorgeous wee tribute
Shucks! Missed this. Anyway, belated happy birthday to Isaac! Can't believe he's two already! Where on earth did that time go?
