When my first daughter was born, I would ask my mom questions - a lot of questions. Such as do you remember when I was a baby did I do this? Or was I like that? My mom would always say I can't remember it was a long time ago. Well, today is my youngest daughter's 4th birthday and I am left wondering WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
Ok, I realize she is only 4 and it is not like she is packing her bags for college yet, but boy-oh-boy she's my baby and my last baby which makes this 4th B-day all the more bittersweet. I find myself starring at my kids at times. They will playing or watching t.v and they will notice mom starring at them. They will look up and go Mo-om! What are you looking at? I will just quietly state - just looking. Little do they know I am soaking them in. Their faces, their hands and feet everything about them, because I am well aware of how fast this will fly by, and I am terrified that I will have missed my opportunity to soak it all in.
From newborn to a big girl of 4 where did the time go?
