My son turns three next week and it’s really got me in the feels.

When it’s potentially your last baby, every year, every little and big milestone becomes the last experience for that age and that part has hit me deep this week.

The mispronounced words that will soon disappear. Not having a 2 year old ever again. Not having a baby or go through the newborn stage again. It really has a hold on me as I look over the last three years and as much as I am so ready for all the future exciting things, adventures and growth - part of me just doesn’t want ‘this’ stage to end.

Before they’re any bigger 🥹

I’m not sure how else to tell you this but it goes so fast. It sounds cliche, everyone tells you the same thing and it’s because it’s so true.

Take the photos.
Book in the photoshoot.

Do what you can so that you have as many memories of this as possible 🤎

Imagine being able to come back to moments like this years from now 🤎

My son started saying ‘blue’ properly yesterday and I’m not ready for it 🥹

He’s almost 3 years old.

All of today I’ve been trying to catch him off guard by asking what his favourite colour is or what colour is this cup because I want to hear boo. Each time he sits there sounding out the L so carefully B-LOO.

They just don’t give you any warnings for this moment. I just want to hear ‘boo’ again. I’ll keep all the other incorrect words close for now ✨

This moment didn’t feel like a phone camera moment, it felt like more than that.

In the middle of cooking dinner, she asked to sit up on the bench top and help me. Mid chopping potatoes, I smiled and told her not to move and out came the camera.

The sunlight on her was just perfect, I couldn’t resist and it was like I just needed that little moment for the day.

One day she won’t want to do this.
She’ll be ‘too cool’ to sit and chat over chopping potatoes.
And there’s just something about your kids sitting on the bench top that makes it feel so much more nostalgic.

My kitchen was a mess and far from aesthetic but this memory will mean so much more in years to come.

Would you love some photos at home like this too? 🤎
