Let Them Be Little

May 31, 2009 at 9:40 pm (Music, My Kids)

They played this song at Finn’s preschool graduation last year but I had pretty much forgotten about it until a friend referenced it on her blog last week. If you’re a mom whose children are growing up too quickly, get the tissues handy before you watch/listen. I fight the tears back pretty good until about the 2 1/2 minute mark, when a boy about the age of Finn is walking away from his mom and the image fades into the image of a grown son. I lose it there every time because someday all too soon it will be that day for me. If I listened to this song everyday I just might do things a little different — expect less from them, enjoy them more and just let them by little.
