i always wondered why the fellow mommy colleagues around me rarely update their kids’ photos at their cubicles. most of them enshrine their personal office-wall-of-fame with photos of their kids as newborns or babies, little eternal peter pans, stuck in time. why don’t they bother? how much have those babies grown since?

well, now it looks like i’ve turned into one of them.

maybe it’s because those chubby, gummy baby moments passed by so fast that you cling on to those images for as long as you can.

maybe it’s a reminder of how they were once so cuddly and compliant and easily-contented and wouldn’t wriggle away from you when you want to kiss them. (grrr.)

or maybe there just isn’t enough cubicle space to chart their rapid, speed-of-lightning growth.

but i think in my case – it’s plain ol’ laziness. oops.

i guess when i come back (in october, woohoo!), i’ll probably have to make space on my personal-wall-of-fame for new photos. where both the little ones will always remain as cuddly, gummy little ones.
