Don’t grow old mom!


 I don’t want you to  grow up  .  


Is that not fair?  

I don’t want you to stop looking at me like I’m Superwoman. You make me feel like I can do anything, be anything. 

I don’t want you to stop climbing into my bed so that I feel your small feet rubbing against my back. It may wake me up in the wee hours, but it fills my heart with joy.

I don’t want your squeaky little voice to change. It’s perfect. 

I don’t want you to keep growing out of your shoes and clothes faster than I can buy them. One day you’ll be as tall as I am, and some days I feel like that’ll come faster than I could ever imagine. 


I don’t want you to stop using a pacifier or wanting a bottle of milk at bedtime. Because then you’ll be a big girl and you won’t be my baby anymore.  

I don’t want your ”  Mommy, will you lay with me?”  requests to go away. You ask so nicely, your voice as sweet as can be. I’ve come to expect them each night (I’m sure I’ve take them for granted) but truth be told, if you didn’t ask me tonight, my heart wouldn’t be ready for it. 

I don’t want you to stop playing with your blocks and baby dolls in favor of “cooler” toys. Your innocence is so pure and so beautiful.  

I don’t want you to be embarrassed by me and my public displays of affection. I fear it’ll break my heart.  

I don’t want you to push my hugs away. They are the best hugs in the world.  

I don’t want you to stop saying,  ”  Mommy, guess what? I love you.” It gets me every time. 

I don’t want you to stop  needing me  . Even though I often feel exhausted from it all, I don’t want you to stop asking me for help when you need it. I take pride in being there for you. As your mama, it feels natural now to be giving so much of myself to you guys.

 The human mind can understand one idea/element at one time. So apt form of presentation is crucial. At first,it sounds easy,but out of 120 songs, only three songs were guessed correctly. In a gist this is “The curse of the knowledge” We might find a concept/example/idea easy to understand,but how we convey it to others matters most because eveything might sound gibberish to the audience. Points to remember in incorporating story telling: A) keep it short and simple  B) know your audience C) show don’t tell Data is vital but what is even more important is how we convey our message. It is crucial to grab the audiences attention and maintain it by generating curiosity,and all this should be done via a story.
