My youngest boy Chris is such a funny boy, he makes me smile everyday, he is kind and thoughtful and rather mischievous, he comes out with some cracking things and I wish I had kept a note book with all the funny things he has said. I love his joyous grin and the way he pulls funny faces and the way hes a great dancer when no one apart from me is watching. At the moment his 'thing' is the trampoline, he's really good at it, unlike me who weed quite a bit every time I bounced or Tom who went all dizzy for days after being on it. I videoed him jumping up so high and giggling to himself as he did, 
He kept shouting for me to watch him do a different trick and at that moment as I watched and snapped away with the camera the thought occurred to me that this little boy will soon be a teenager, soon be grown up and soon won't be calling "mum come see" anymore, at that moment when minutes before I had been laughing with him I felt a sadness, a worry an empty feeling of longing for him to be small always and I remember telling my mum when I was little that I never wanted to grow up, I never wanted to leave home, and that I promised I would always hug her and live with her forever.
My lovely jumping bean has said the same to me at night when we snuggle and share a story and I can't tell him its not true because right now, at this moment he is small and I will appreciate every hug and laugh we share for I know the truth that one day it won't be the same x
