Happy Birthday Brady!

My sweet boy turns six years old today. Seems like just yesterday he was the nine month old in the picture below.




I was listening to my Taylor Swift cd this morning and her song "Never Grow Up" played. As I sat there, listening to the lyrics, tears rolled down my face. Time passes so fast and some times you do wish they would never grow up, that they would just stay the little baby or the toddler or the six year old.

Never Grow Up

Your little hands wrapped around my finger

And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in and turn on your favorite nightlight


To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have honey
If you could stay like that

(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Wont let no one break your heart
No one will desert you
Just try to never grow up
Never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mama's dropping you off
At 14, there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out
Someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your PJs getting ready for school

(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
