You hold your newborn baby in your arms. You cradle them in your arms wondering "how can they be this small". Then before you know it there growing and can soon rollover. After that comes sitting up and they no longer need you to hold them in your arms anymore. Then there crawling and you wonder where the time has gone. After crawling comes walking and they no longer want to be held as much. There growing up.

They grow, and they grow, and you want them to stop but they just grow up. Now your baby is about Two and can now say almost full sentences. Now they are Two and are terrible. Sometimes you wonder where your sweet little baby has gone until your little two year old gets tired and wants to cuddle. On thoughs moment's you look upon your toddler and wish that they would just stop growing up.

Your child is about Five and goes to school now. They except all your love when you're at home but reject it at school. The first time your child rejected your hug it probably felt like a knife in your gut. Your child then comes home and while hugging you explains that there to old to be seen hugging there parents. At night when your child finally goes to bed, you creep into there room and watch them sleep. While you are doing this you wish your baby would stop growing up.

Your child is now a teenager and hates themselves. You tell them that there beautiful and that you love them but they don't believe you because their classmates say otherwise. Your teenager locks themselves in there room texting and calling their friends but can not be bothered with actually talking to you. You miss talking to your child. Your teenager screams hurtful things at you. You go and cry in your room because you feel like a bad parent. Your teenager then comes crying to you and apologizes for everything. Your teenager complains to you that they can't wait to grow up. You smile sadly and say "I don't want you to grow up, you'll understand when you have kids."

Your child is not a child anymore. They are an adult now. They have moved out and are even planning to get married. At there wedding, you silently cry to yourself. A year or so later your baby is pregnant. You can't believe it not your baby it seems only yesterday that you were holding them for the first time. You watch as your baby has there own kids and wish that they had never grown up.

Then your child tells you that they never want their kid to grow up. You smile, you know.
