I realized the other day that my babies have changed! Heaven forbid they are growing up!... sob!! When they were little I had people always telling me to enjoy them while they were little and there I was looking forward to them getting older, being able to talk, walk, play and be little people not just children.
Well...I changed my mind! My oldest, E, is only a head shorter than I am, and she's 10! And my baby will be 4 this summer! Ahh, now I'm freaking out. My oldest is only 2 shoes sizes smaller than me, and had been eyeing my closet and shoes for months. She informed me she has already picked out the first outfit she wants to borrow when we're the same size!
I don't think I can handle that. She was this sweet, little, happy baby who now wants to know everything! And is so smart and intense (and beginning to be moody) and has such an open and yet wise outlook on life.
My middle child, J, is counting down till she can wear make up, and my shoes as well, and wants to study home decor and dance! She is only a few steps behind her sister, and it still surprises me how very different they both are.
And then there is my little man, R, I don't know how we survived before he was born, because he is the glue and the icing on the cake for our little family! He loves cars and monster trucks, and wants to drive and talks a hundred words a minute. But then he has to if he wants to get a word in at all. Lol!
I didn't think I would be so unprepared or emotional to watch these little people grow right before my eyes. They have so much to say and share and learn and my goodness, I'm scared for them and all that they have to face in the world, but also excited to see how much they experience, I mean not to brag, but these kids are going to rock the world!! I just hope I'm ready to let them. It won't be long before they are taller than me and probably a lot smarter than me, and how much more they will teach me than I could teach them... ?
