He has his own key.
I want to smile and weep at the same time.
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what´s in his mind
Each time I think I´m close to knowing
He keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
(Lyrics by Abba with a little modification)

And, so handsome <3 It's such a mix of emotions, being a mom...isn't it? Wanting them to learn and grow...at the same time as not wanting them to change...but, I've no doubt that our boys will still be our little boys...even when they're men. (but, not mama's boys that can't fend for themselves, of course ;D)
I can so relate to your post - you've written it so well. You just want to 'keep' them don't you. Lovely post.
Oh I've been there too - giving them the space to grow and mature sometimes is hard for us mums. He's lovely looking.
Förstår känslan, man vill så gärna hålla kvar en del ögonblick lite längre! Stilig kille du har!
Kram
Ja, jag känner igen känslan. Vart tog småbarnsåren vägen?
Men ändå. Visst har varje ålder sin charm?
I know exactly what you mean!!! And the Abba-song quote, adorable - I love that song... :-)
Such a cute picture!
de blir stora snabbt....
ha en skön tisdag

I'm glad you realize how time slips away -- some people just go through the motions every day and don't grasp that each day is a unique experience. :)
He looks like such a tender soul. What a charming son you have!
Aww... I know what you mean.
Incidentally, we just watched Mamma Mia (for the 19,238th time!) and in the scene where Meryl Streep was singing this song, I got a bit teary (just a teeny bit!).
There are so many of those bittersweet moments. Mine are 16 and 12 now and are both in high school. They are on spring break this week so my routine is a little off. I've missed your last few posts. Here's something from Twitter this morning that made me think of you: "I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but Sweden is the best place in the world." by Canadian singer Kathleen Edwards @kittythefool :)
You're going to make me cry... Being a mom makes me understand all those songs about how hard it is to let go. How grown up to have his own key! You're a brave mama.
stora killen, så stilig & duktig!! förstår hur du känner. =)
kram

Completely understand.
AHH so big and yet so small - can totally relate to your feeling even though mine are smaller still.

Ah, and sigh....children grow so fast. Having their own key, changing voices, teenage years. They sure do grow up fast don't they? This post makes me a bit sad.
Great verse!
Yes, beautiful portrait of growing up without us noticing, and one day we no longer need.
I remember when I got my own key. Big step. He is on the way to be the man you dreamt him to be!
Känner igen den där känslan!
sv: Din pers. analys kommer men jag har inte riktigt koll på dig än! ;)
Nädå, tiden räcker inte till riktigt just nu, men den kommer, jag lovar!
Oh my - all on his own. Lovely words.
Oh my - all on his own. Lovely words.
Åh Tina, jag känner så väl igen mig i dina ord och Abbas text (jepp, jag grät hejdlöst under den scenen då jag såg Mamamia första gången på bio). För samtidgt som man som mamma är ofantligt stolt över sitt barn och ser hur de växer av ansvaret så är det en bit av hjärtat som sörjer att en tid går mot sitt slut då denna nya tar vid. Men jag lovar dig Tina, det blir bara bättre och bättre. Varje guldålder avlöses av en ny.
Kram Lotta
I know!!
Vart tar tiden vägen, hur blev de så stora, så snabbt?
Du är en sådan underbar mamma tycker jag
xx
I love the color of your son's hair. And I relate to this post a lot.
I just keep thinking that it's good for children to have a little autonomy at a time, so they will be string and appropriately independent. You seem like a great mother, who cares so much. I love that you come across that way in just a few words. It takes me hundreds. I need to work on this! Take care,
Shauna
That's meant to say strong, not string. I'm sure you could catch that but just in case...Shauna
they grow up so fast!
Aww...so very sweet. And he's such a handsome little man!
Oh it is so sad how they grow up so fast....hugs to you.
There will be more time for you as your son get older and more independent. I have no worry for both my older kids but the baby does not leave me much luxury these days.:p
I really don´t remember what age I was when I got my own key.. have to browse through my memories..
Nydelig tekst!! Og en kjekk pjokk =)
Such a strange, sad feeling. I feel it completely. Being a mother is difficult in the strangest ways...
I commented on this post already, but I wanted to let you know that I have tagged you in the eleven, eleven, eleven post that is going around. Would love to get to know you better! Check out my post for details.
Jag älskar den texten. Får mig faktiskt att gråta en skvätt varje gång jag hör den! Pros and cons, det där med att få barn som blir större. Det allra bästa är att de blir ÄNNU klokare än man trodde var möjligt då de var små...
