Letting go of my "baby"

So I am still desperately trying to get in the groove of things. My goal is to have my son up dressed, a healthy breakfast in his belly, and have some snuggling with hugs and kisses all done by 8:30. Yeah well that hasn't been happening ! LOL I know it is only the second day today so I need to give us time :) My son and I snuggled this morning but somewhere between snuggling and pancakes Chad has picked up some grumpiness. Oh yeah that's right it was all my fault ! I wouldn't cut his pancakes for him this morning! Now usually I do this for him and that is the problem. I have come to realize that my soon to be 8 year old son can not cut his own food yet. Product of being an only child. I do everything for him ! Now for all of you who are scolding me right now just calm down ! I mean I did make him cut his own pancakes this morning :) I also have been letting him dress himself, put his dirty dishes in the sink, draw his own bath, take his own bath, and help me with other misc. chores. I have come to realize he is not my baby anymore and just because God has chosen to not bless us with any more babies right now doesn't mean I can keep Chad as one. I just love him so much and want to do all that I can as a christian mother to show the servants heart I believe Christ has asked us to show. Yes , yes I know there has to be a balance hence he had to cut his own pancakes this morning :)
