I was carrying Charlie to his room last night, because he was coming off of a 24 hour stomach virus and was being all cute and pitiful and Charlie-like and I am a sucker for that baby cuteness, even though he’s six and weighs 50 pounds and has legs that are nearly as long as mine, and I said, “Oh buddy, I’m not going to be able to carry you around for much longer. You’re huge!”
“Oh no!” he said sadly, “That’s terrible! Because then I will have to WALK EVERYWHERE.”

My son is 4, and weighs 42 pounds. I carry him less and less these days. I’ve told him soon he will be able to carry me instead.

If you are wanting to carry something around, you can carry my spawn around all you want next month.

So cute! I carried my 5-year old up the steps the other night and told him, when I got to the top, “That’s the LAST TIME I will ever do that!”
Hope no one else there gets the barfies.

I know I’D like to be carried everywhere if it was an option.

Hahaha, how cute! You don’t look like you could possibly weigh much more than that yourself, so I bet it’s hard!

Where does he get his sense of sarcasm?
WE MAY NEVER KNOW.

I don’t remember when I stopped carrying my first child. I guess at 2 when her sister was born. I do recall that I had to stop carrying my second child because she was so tall that I could not see past her head. My son is the youngest at 5…he has 10- and 12-year-old sisters. I savored everything about his babyhood and toddlerhood. I liked carrying him as he was relatively easy to carry…not much fidgeting. The problem at 2 he was as tall as and as heavy as a 3-4 year old. So, I soldiered on for another year, but by 3 I was done. He was too cumbersome. I was sad. I missed snuggling his neck as we walked somewhere.

You can tell Charlie that he is cute enough that I will come carry him around when he gets to big for you. He is so damn cute.

I still carry my baby way more than I can. I told him the other day I was going to have to stop soon, and that made me sad. His reply melted my heart. “I know, because I’m your baby and I’m getting sooo big.”
