My son is grown now and this quote is so simple and beautiful. I see him in my grandson and realize that he has passed down some wonderful traits to his kids. It is amazing to watch your children grow.
Very nice. I second the suggestion to get it framed for him.
Simply beautiful!

Incredible how those little munchkins grow, change, yet there are still hints of what they were.
BTW…how tough is it raising a kid in the city? I’m a child of the ‘burbs myself. Do you think you worry more?
I definitely worry, but I think that’s normal of any parent. However, I might not be the best person to ask since I was raised here in the city. I have friends that migrated to the city after college and they seem to worry more than I do. I guess since I know how ‘it is’ and that it isn’t as scary or worrisome as you’d think, I am a little more relaxed than a newbie to the city might be. I am always on my toes with a 3-year-old in the city, but I also know that anything can happen anywhere – God forbid.
I’ve (UNFORTUNATELY) had friends approached by strangers or even kidnapped when we were younger (everyone is okay, thank God), but that also happened in the suburbs and the city, too. I guess the best I can do is teach my son to always be aware of his surroundings, understand “stranger danger”, etc. He’s seemingly well adjusted already to the hustle and bustle of New York City! It’s amazing how well they pick up on the fast paced lifestyle at such a young age. He knows when I say “go! go! go!” — that means NOW, whereas my girlfriends from the suburbs will give a gentle warning “Okay! Have to go soon!” and the kids won’t jump, but my son will already be out the door! That might be bad though.. hah!
Those are my sentiments exactly. I’m a new mama, i gave birth to my baby boy, Adam 3 weeks ago and when i look at him I pray and hope and wish for the man that he’ll become. for him to be a hard working man, a man who respects every one and to be happy in any decision he makes. Ok i’m tearing up now, it’s still hormones probably lol . Beautiful quote , you just inspired me to write a new blog post as a letter to my baby boy on what i hope for him, could i include this quote? I’d of course say it’s from you and i’ll link your post as well. just wanted to ask first. btw I love your blog, i read your posts always or pin them to read later (since now i have a newborn and no time) thanks!

Aww! Firstly, congratulations! Secondly, OH WOW I was in the SAME exact place you are right now when my son was born. Luckily, I didn’t suffer from post-pardum syndrome or depression, but the overwhelming feelings of “Will I do this okay?”, “Are you going to grow up to be a guy that everyone loves and respects, or will I screw you up and turn you into a thief?”. It sounds SO ridiculous, especially to my husband (“He’s only 3-weeks old and you’re thinking about THAT stuff?”). We worry from the second we conceive until… forever. I still look at him every day and cannot believe who he has become, what he’s accomplished in his less than 1,500 days since birth. It’s amazing!
….and thank you! :O) I’ll be in your shoes in 3-months with a newborn in my arms as I try to function. It’s definitely a challenge, but I am still waiting for it to get easier ’till this day. 3-years-old and its only getting crazier by the day!! :O)
What great pictures of your son. I worry more about raising my son than my daughter there are so many pressures for men/boys.

I love this so simple and so sweet!
This is so beautiful and so true. My son is growing up so quickly and everyday when I look at him I think about how wonderful of a man he is going to be one day. He will change the world, I just know it. And he loves to tell me that too
