Don`t grow up too quickly

I want my boys to grow up, take care of their things, keep their things tidy but I have to watch myself. What about that day where I didn`t feel like picking up my clothes, do the dishes or make my bed. They have those days too. I want my boys to learn at home and at school and to be productive God-fearing members of society. But, when my sweet 7 year old shows me a book he made about Animals and each page is a drawing of an animal and he has written their name and most of the names are mis-spelled or phonetically spelled I don`t want him to grow up. I don`t want to correct the spelling since that will have made him grow up a little more. It will take away from the authenticity of the work and his own efforts. He spelled elephant- elifant and didn`t asked for any help except does elephant take two `ls`. It is such nice work I want to stop time and just save it forever. I will not correct the spelling and cherish him being 7 years old. I am quite sure that by age 10 or older he`ll have elephant and other words figured out anyway and I wouldn`t want to hurt that tender heart that wants to show me his own book.♥
