Greetings dear mothers and fathers of this community, today I feel very nostalgic, after having read a post by @ fmbs25 a very dear friend here in Hive, she told how her son has started to change his teeth, I stayed with the phrase she said, referring to the fact that children grow too fast for her liking, according to this phrase I began to think that certainly children grow very fast but at the same time as mothers we are so focused on the moment, on what children need every day that although we notice growth in some way we are surprised when we look a little at the past.
My son is still 5 months away from his 7th birthday and today when he came back from school he told me: Mom, I already want the month of August to be his birthday, he still has some problems remembering the order of the days of the weeks and months, but the month of his birthday he never forgets, on the other hand, sometimes I think that he is still tiny and he surprises me with those kinds of comments, I still remember when he was so scared to go to the park and that he just dared to get on the wheel when it was empty, currently he even gets on the highest slide of all and he no longer cares that there are many children instead he likes to play with them.

Although my Rafael looks like the magic bean plant in a fairy tale, that is, it only grows upwards because it is very tall, some things remain the same for me, such as finding him asleep in his bed with the cat asleep near him, although this cat is not the same because the previous one died, it seems that if the previous Ziggy cat was left the legacy of sleeping with Rafael to the Yellow cat.
2016 – 2022
Another thing that hasn't changed is that he still likes me to make knitted toys for him, that makes me happy and he always proudly shows all his yarn toys to visitors, sometimes he asks me to take pictures of him, he got used to seeing me take photos of him for the blog then he sees it as very normal to ask me to do the same with him.

Almost every day Rafael measures his height with me, he started doing this when he reached the height of my navel, now he laughs a lot when he sees that he is at the height of my chest and asks me, Mom, what are you going to do when I be big? And he knocks me out with that question 😅 so I tell him that even if he's taller than me, he'll still be a boy and I'll still be his mom.
2016 – 2022
My son has changed many things about his personality, he is less shy, he no longer has a social phobia and is now outgoing in certain environments, now he has even become a little rebellious 😲 something I never imagined but I knew could happen, but what It reassures me that my son continues to keep his heart and he is very loving to me, with his family and even with his cat Yellow who has accompanied him since 2019 and has been an important part of his development.
2019 - 2022
Because of Rafael's height growth rate, I know that it is most likely that when he is about 12 years old he may be taller than me, that scares me a little but at the same time I feel that he will not catch me off guard like these first years, it is say I don't know where my head was but I didn't imagine that at 6 years old he was so great in thought and body development, he is not the tallest child in the world but I think that somewhere in my heart I kept clinging to the fact that he would be small for longer. The truth is that the more he grows, the more my love for him grows.
