HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas break and spent some amazing time with your awesome children!
I found this poem this week and just had to share it - it made me cry and the message has really stuck in my mind since. I hope you like it as much as I do.
Now if that hasn’t touched you I’m guessing you’re either not a parent, or, they’re already teenagers ;)
Unfortunately I can’t credit the author as I haven’t been able to find out who it is, so if you know, please tell us so we can update this post!
Looking forward to exciting things for belle bébés in 2013! Hope to see lots of you! :)
Update 2nd February: We found the author of these beautiful words, or rather, she found us! Steph Turner wrote the poem which can be found over at My Children Mean Everything To Me. Thank you Steph!

How very true!
This will keep me crying for a good few days!
Sometimes it’s so easy to say….”I wish they would stop this, I wish they would do that” when actually before you know it, you are wishing for them to be small again.
Cherish every second.

Glad you like it Lisa :)
It’s true, it is easy to wish it all away, but before you know it, it’s gone forever. Sometimes we forget how fast they grow up xx
What a cute message that was beautiful :)

I hope that this helps!!!
I bawled over this poem! I have a little one thats not quite 6 months old yet, and I catch myself saying “im ready for him to do this or get past that” but I am already wanting him to just STOP growing as well, so im trying to make a point to document as much as I can while he IS this small.
Thanks Lucie! I’ve updated the post with a link to Steph’s facebook group :)
Crystal, it’s so true. You naturally want them to progress and develop, but it’s sooo important to savour every moment - you can’t get that time back!
Omg! I’m still sobbing. Thanks for posting
Glad you like it Abbee! :)
