In the Nursery: A Moment Frozen in Time

Today marked a significant transition for my little one; he took his first steps toward becoming a boy. This change has been subtly unfolding over time, even if I didn’t fully recognize it until now. His movements have evolved, his stance has shifted, and the expressions on his face have matured. I witnessed this transformation in real-time, yet it felt surreal, as often is the case with these gradual changes.

Earlier today, I nursed my child before his nap, and as we finished (approaching the end of this chapter in our journey), I could see the difference. As he rested in my arms, I was struck by the fact that the baby I once cradled has been replaced by an energetic little boy—his hair tousled, limbs elongated, and the soft baby fat I’d grown accustomed to has vanished.

There was no mistaking it.

I held him a little longer today, cradling him as a boy who is growing more substantial with each passing moment. With his head resting heavily on my shoulder, I embraced the weight of him, cherishing the time we had. In that stillness, I felt as if I could halt time itself; as if keeping him close meant preserving these precious moments. But I knew that eventually, I would have to put him down, and once I did, that fleeting sense of timelessness would vanish. In the blink of an eye, he would continue to grow and change, eventually becoming an adult.

Everyone says to savor these moments while they last because children grow so quickly. This sentiment rings both true and false; in the daily grind, time can feel interminable. A meal can stretch out endlessly, while a night filled with restless sleep feels like an eternity. Yet, the collective wisdom remains: they grow so fast.

I want to hold onto him just a bit longer today because my baby has already begun to fade away, replaced by a little boy. Soon enough, he will become an older boy, then a teenager, and finally a young man. So, I continue to embrace him: heavy on my shoulder, his weight a reminder of the precious time we share, in his nursery where time feels suspended.
