I’m right there with you, Shannon. Days come when I will them to grow up, like when they fight over silly things, or act stupid. Then I look back, and I see how far we have all come.
And moms come as all types, maybe you are not the mushy, gushy mom that remembers the baby/toddler years with fondness. That’s okay.

Eh, I still can't capture that feeling. They aren't growing fast enough for me. Sometimes I think I'm just not meant to be a mom. Shannons last blog post..I’m Back and Paying It Forward

I know what you mean, Kelly. You want them to grow so they are more independent, and can do more fun things with you, but you still don’t want to rush them through childhood.

And maybe we were in that Creation crowd together and we didn’t know it. Creation and summer – that can come as fast as it wants to. I’m tired of the snow and cold already.

I’ve been to TWO Creation Festivals… once with my youth group then in college with a college friend, my mom and my little brother…. OH, what amazing memories there!! I can’t wait for my “little” ones to be old enough to enjoy that trip….

…. oh, but I DO want to hold on to them at THIS age!!!

I have a 4 yr old that I can barely remember holding her as a newborn in my arms. I have a 2 yr old that I try to snuggle EVERYDAY even when she tries to wiggle out…LOL… I don’t want to forget…

EVEn in the midst of crazy preschooling choas (with trying to “teach” a 4yr old,3 yr old and 2 yr old)!!

Thank you for your reminder to stop, pause and rewind. And THAT is definitely WHY I blog…

I know, I know. I was looking at some old photos and was struck the same way.

I wrote a post not long ago–the letter for Amber/Mother Letter–how it all goes by in a blink.

Did I link you to watercolor ponies, by Wayne Watson in Twitter?

This is a killer.

Because it’s all of us, every mom, every parent. We have to leave each moment very clearly and fully engaged, don’t we?

Beautiful post. My first born married only two weeks ago. I told her that she was a beautiful bride and that there was only one time that she was more beautiful. That was on the day she was born, for on that day she was mine. Now she belongs to someone else. Yes, they all grow up too quickly. I have two grandchildren (my middle daughter’s girls) and they are rushing through life even faster than their mother did.
At this season of my life, if “life” did have a pause button, I’d push it and never push play again.
