I can so imagine my mum saying this! (or worse: ...now she lives in Italy and has not time to call me).
Wanted to say I love the fruit cutting board. Once I move and have some money again, I will need to get my hands on some of your beautiful things to decorate my future apartment! Looking forward to it!
You have the amazing ability to say all there is to say and more in just a couple of sentences. I love this post. I'm going to be there in three weeks time for the first time, and dreading it. Hugs.
Jag vet att det känns som ett gummiband som man håller fast med ena handen och som tänjer ut sig längre och längre bort från dig.. och så plötsligt kommer gummibandet tillbaka igen och vet du att mamma, det är man för alltid:)
pretty girls you two :) ,I know I know ...9yr old , still my girl , 13 yr hmmmmm nope , 16 yr well coming back at times :) what can we do ,so funny when they get independent (you know its what we want )
My mother recently asked me to take a photograph of her for her passport. - But it wasen't long ago I took passport photos of you mum?! - It was 10 years ago she responded. 10 years ago! Felt like 3 or 4 years ago at most. Time flyes, scary, really.
Jodi, celebration at a CocoRosie concert sounds like a sweet thing to do with a teen daughter :)
Kaylovesvintage, yes that probably means she's having a good time. That's good.
Jane, independent with good confidence, yes that's how we want them. But still very close, always.
Yes, before you know it they've grown up, want their independance and are towering above you (my eldest fourteen year old son is 1.88m!). Lovely photo!
I totally suck at letting go my kids. I talk of my 20 year old as " my boy", and i still make the table for eight even thou the second eldest moved from home. And that "boy" is in the army.
And everytime i count the plates wrong, i somehow think: "oh, it doesn´t matter, they come home soon, just leave the plate there and they will eat later".
independent and close...my first born just turned 15!!!! i can't believe it...i almost feel like she's growing up and im not, like im losing my favorite playmate. being a grwon up is overrated anyways! :)
I know how you feel just spent 5 days with mine and her boyfriend and I cant stop seeing my little baby girl in this beautiful grown up 24 y o. I suppose its ongoing ;)
Åh, they grow up so fast :)
