Don't call me "baby". I'm a mom! ........ How time flies.

Hi there, happy Eid- El- Fitir! I hope you're having a wonderful holiday as i am. I was so happy driving to my parents' for the holiday as i needed a short break from my house. I know what you're thinking, but of course, i took my baby along with me, my handbag, lol. He's now 10 months and 2 weeks old and slowly, time is going by and my baby will soon be a year old. How time flies, before you know what's happening, he'll start saying "mom i don't want this, i want that, etc. I saw a friend's baby today and wow, she's so grown! I remember when this girl was born and this was barely 14 months ago! 

I have come to learn to enjoy each day as they come because before you know it, you’ll be dancing at your child’s 5th, 10th birthday celebration, or even wedding ceremony! Time does fly and we need to enjoy every second, minute and hour of it.

Something really funny happened today and i must share. Momore has destroyed our dstv remote and his dad held me responsible for it. Fortunately for me, today my mom and I went out and I saw a guy selling remotes. As i was approaching him, he called me "baby" and i was like "what, how can you call me baby?" It was then he looked at my left hand, saw my wedding band and apologized. I guess i should have been happy that i still look like a "baby”, but i don’t know what came over me because i felt embarrassed. I was with my mom, who by the way was dressed like a funky grandma, and she on the contrary was excited and wanted to be called a "baby”. See the irony of life. The old want to be young and the young want to be older.

Lesson learnt, enjoy each day because you can only grow older.
