I wish I had known when it was the last time I would push my baby in a stroller. The last time we would play at a playground. The last time the girls would want to ride a Merry-Go-Round.
These were part of my everyday life. No more.
Not that by knowing I would have appreciated the experience more, I just would have given a proper 'Good-Bye'.
Time goes by so fast.

Oh Ann, I so know how that feels! Not that I would have done a whole lot differently or anything...but I might not have hurried home from the playground to start dinner quite as many times. My new goal: more pictures this year. I have baby/toddler books filled....why is it when they turn 9 or 10 we slow down?
ReplyDeleteQuite true. Even further back, I also wonder when was the last time my parents, siblings, and I had our last family dinner together, before marriages, moving out, etc. Oh well -- growing up is good for everyone.
ReplyDeleteNow that brought tears to my eyes! So true. It just goes by too fast.
ReplyDeleteOne would also think they would like the same things you like ~ I mean they are from us and learn from us every day right?! It's amazing how different they can be at times. All I ever ask is she enjoy some "girly" things from time to time ~ is that too much to ask for?! I mean seriously, I just want to teach her girls should wear more than sweat pants from time to time. :D
ReplyDeleteGREAT POST! So short & to the point! It brings tears to my eyes, I'd better get out my camera & shoot some photos of what the kids are doing today! Sounds like you need to scrapbook some memories, lady! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! I wish I had known so many things. My baby turns 5 on thursday... wahhhhh
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting here crying. I've been thinking the same things the past few weeks. I miss when my kids were little. They're growing up and don't need me so much anymore. It makes me so sad!!!! Hugs to you!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the only time we realize this is when the opportunity has already passed you by...sad that way.
ReplyDeleteThey grow up so fast.. today was Tara's last Wednesday before she is a teen... next Thursday is the big day... I am afraid, very afraid!
ReplyDeleteI will be so sad when those days are over. :(
