There it was again in my Facebook feed: someone’s post of an adorable birthday boy with a sweet smile and a sprinkled cupcake, ready for the eating.
And beneath it, along with the likes and loves? A sad, crying Facebook “reaction” face.
Which breaks my heart.
Tears and sadness because this little boy is turning a year older? Because he’s “growing up?”
This is all over Facebook and the mom blogging world these days. Last times posts and “I’m so sad my baby is getting older” pieces…and crying-face emojis in reaction to a happy birthday picture.
