They are Growing Up!
It's fun to say that I have 1 3 year old and 3 7 year olds. It just sort rolls off the tongue as well as gets some wild reactions from strangers. But likewise, it's just hard to believe how old my kids are getting, and how quickly. For example, in the past couple of weeks, these events have transpired:
- We no longer have any children in diapers.
- We no longer have any children in a crib.
- We have a daughter with pierced ears.
It's amazing to see how grown up older daughter looks with her shiny earrings. And younger daughter in her big bed. It goes by so quickly and while I tried my best to suck every last second out of the baby days, they are now officially gone. And gone for good this time. No chance of a surprise pregnancy. It tugs at my heart. I am very proud of the little people my kids are blossoming to be, but I am still a bit sentimental at the times gone past.
Not to leave my boys out, they are handsome little men themselves. They joined Cub Scouts and it's so cute to see them interacting with their fellow den members. And it's exciting to see Aaron telling them all about it, as he was an Eagle Scout himself. I am so happy they can have that experience together.
I guess all I can do is keep making every day matter...after all, soon enough it won't be funny when my daughter walks up to me with a pooched out belly and asks: "Do I have a baby in my tummy?"
