But I do remember their chubby toes that were, and still are, incredibly ticklish.
I don't remember when they stopped needing me to carry them everywhere and started walking on their own two feet.
But I do remember their weight on my hip, their soft heads as I leaned in to plant a kiss on their silky hair.
I don't remember when they stopped wanting to read "Guess How Much I Love You" and started wanting Robert Munsch books.
But I do remember telling them that I loved them right up to the moon and back.
I don't remember when they stopped playing with Fisher Price toys and started playing superheroes.
But I do remember watching as they began to see each other as a playmate.
But I do remember how it feels each and every time I hear that special title that will always be the most important one bestowed upon me: Mommy.
I don't remember every moment.
But I do remember the most important ones.

Oh my goodness, the baby photo - so precious!!
What a sweet, sweet post... Love the photo of the three of you too!
Awww. And you will ALWAYS remember the way they made you feel, regardless of whether you remember exact moments. And I'll always be touched by these sweet posts of yours. :) Hugs, friend.

So special! And also, you suck - you made me cry.
Your boys are so very lucky that you're their Mommy - they'll always remember that.
I was just thinking about this . . . how bittersweet these moments are. They grow so fast. In the years (yes, I can now say that) that I have read you, I have had the honor of seeing them grow. And MY oh MY, have they ever grown.
This post has me in tears, seriously. So beautiful, and oh, so true. I'm having a hard time lately because my boys are getting so old... well, 5 and 2 (almost 3) but still - the baby days! Where did they go? And I, like you, remember the important moments, but overall... time goes by too quickly. Lovely pictures, too. xo
Awwwwww!!!!!!!!!
I love this so much.
You made me cry, too.
