You echoed the same question I believe every mother asks at one time or another. My daughter will be 18 in six months and my baby boy is 3 and 1/2 years old. I remember looking at my daughter's little hands one day, years ago, and realizing that the dimples were no longer there at her knuckles and I asked myself "when did the dimples go away and how did I not notice?" How I long for those dimpled, little hands to be clutched in mine again. Now I make it a point of looking at my little man's hands on a regular basis, hoping that the dimples are still there when I look and praying that I will not take those little hands for granted, for even a day, for time sure does go by much too quickly. My advice, hold on to those little hands of that precious little angel and admire the dimples!
