I found your through Tuesdays Unwrapped and then started clicking around a bit. I love this post. Something every mother can relate to – loving where you’re at but longing for one more taste of those early days with a milk-breathed baby. *sigh* Glad I clicked on over. Beautiful pictures, too.

Perfectly said. Just this week I was wondering at all the same things and my son, who is a rising kindergartener, crawled into my lap and I rocked him to sleep. In the same week, my almost three year old daughter told me she was a “big girl” and wanted to wear panties! We’ve tried before, but it was on her own time that it was the right time. Three days later I helped my sister deliver her third daughter, while her husband watched via Skype from Iraq. I gained perspective I haven’t had in years. I am trying to slow it all down so I can remember it all.

So well written! I loved this post. It’s amazing how absorbing motherhood is, but it’s a finite experience. Any thoughts about what you’ll do when both your children are in school all day?

My daughter has recently turned 6 and I'm stunned at how fast time is flying by. How did my precious little baby, turn into the sassy, intelligent, tall girl who is now my daughter? It scares me how fast it's gone and how soon she'll be teenager. I relish ever precious moment. .-= Liz@VioletPosy´s last blog ..Summer =-.

Every night when I put my son to sleep, I whisper to him not to grow up too much before morning. He never hears me and by morning he is older and wiser. Me, I don't even like waste time sleeping. There is never enough time to be with them. .-= DJ´s last blog ..His First Fish! =-.

This is why I told my two youngest to stay just how they are and not grow up. Do you think they’ll listen?

I’ve been there many times Emily, as it happens at all stages. It was only last year that my 12 year old girl would still sit in my lap and now at 13 she’s too grown up for it. I feel like if I blink she’ll be graduating high school or getting married, so I treasure “now” and try not to blink too much
