My 10 year old still ask to be picked up from time to time. I carry my 4 year old all the time. I held them as much as I could while they were babies because I knew that time would be short lived and it was. Enjoy it while you can!!

Aww, that’s awesome that you can still pick them all up! I take care of a couple 5 year olds and they love to run and jump up into my arms, but I don’t think I’ll be able to lift them much longer–those girls are growing fast! My sister is nearly 10, but very small for her age, and she loves to ride on her big brother and brother-in-law’s shoulders.

My almost 12 year old who stands the same height as me and weighs 100lbs, will run up to me after a swim meet, or after school or when I am not paying attention she will jump into my arms; well try to anyway and then she wraps her legs around my knees and I have her entire weight on me. It hurts and she’s heavy but those sweet moments I hold her for a few seconds and take in her embrace. Before I know it she will be moving on with life away from me and those embraces will be days between, weeks between and maybe even months between. So I agree. Hold them while you can and enjoy the moments they give back to us. 🙂 I love being a mommy!!!

Love this! I still carry all three of mine too. I have a almost 7 year old and 4 year old twins. I used to carry the twins together, but it’s almost too much for me physically. I always want them to feel that closeness, and will miss it so much when they get older…or embarrassed of me.
