Have you ever just looked at your kids and wondered where the time went? I’m sitting here at work looking back through pictures of my babies from the past year and it kills me how much they’ve grown. Their faces are so different. Their bodies are so different. Their hair, teeth, eyes, smiles… all different. The one with the greatest growth, of course is Alexis. This is a given as she is the youngest and the youngest usually changes at a more noticeable pace.
Their views are different, too. I don’t mean to say they have done a 180 on anything; it’s more that they know of things on a grander scale now. Their awareness has become more acute. Part of me loves this and the other finds it scary.
I know I have been saying this for years, but I am not ready for them to grow up.
I feel you mama. Trinity has always been older and wiser beyond her years. Sometimes, with this come the loss of “magic” in things. We try extremely hard to harvest and honor those magical first few years, but it just seems that with this current state of economy ruffled with war and uncertainty, they are forced to grow up faster than we would have ever liked. Just cherish each moment, for what it is, and enjoy all the memories that you have. HUGS!
