....about not growing up!
My girl went and turned 8 on me. This is scary when she is the youngest one. Knowing how fast this all goes, she will probably be packing a bag to move out in about a month....or at least it will seem that way.
It is amazing that my own childhood seemed so long and dragged out, but the the childhoods of my own kids seem to pass in the blink of an eye---at least to me.
The days of having a little shadow with me all of the time are numbered. Her desire to be just like me? Well, that is going to pass too. Of course, it passes on to much bigger and better things, but there is a part of me that wishes this would last much longer. Maybe forever.
I suppose that the brevity of this time is what makes it so precious.
Don't forget to be amazed by your kids today. Tomorrow they will be a little older and a little wiser and little more ready to live independently. As it should be, of course, but still a tough thing to face.
Wish I could stop the clock......!
