It won't be like this for long . . .

Last night I was driving home with Aiden and I heard a song that really made me think about this past year! Realizing that his first year and the "baby" stage are gone made me a little emotional.  Here's some of the lyrics; (you've probably heard it)

He didn't have to wake up

He'd been up all nite

Lay'n there in bed listen'n

To his new born baby cry

He makes a pot of coffee

He splashes water on his face

His wife gives him a kiss and says

It gonna be OK

It wont be like this for long

One day soon we'll look back laugh'n

At the week we brought her home

This phase is gonna fly by

So baby just hold on

It won't be like this for long

Four years later bout four thirty

She's crawling in their bed

And when he drops her off at preschool

She's clinging to his leg

The teacher peels her off of him

He says what can I do

She says now don't you worry

This will only last a week or two

It wont be like this for long

One day soon we'll drop her off

And she wont even know you're gone

This phase is gonna fly by

If you can just hold on

It wont be like this for long

I remember Aiden's first week -how tired we were from the long nights, but looking back, it didn't last long at all.  Having a child really does change everything.  He is such a blessing to our family and I am happy to have had such a fun, happy and healthy first year. 
As I was listening to this song, I looked over my shoulder and saw this;

and I realized it really won't be like this for long.
