the past few days as I have reflected I was remided how much the "little" stage of our kiddos seems like a blink.. and of course it was! when I say little I mean infant... for all you mommas with "little" ones it too shall pass and you will look back and realize you too did blink!...
I am only a school year away from our oldest being in HIGHSCHOOL!!!... I mean next year I will have... 2 middle schoolers... of course I will find a new normal in rearing our "older" ones.. Its different physically.. well none physical, mentally... yes... hormones going crazy, physical changes, etc.... well lets just say there are times when I say I would love to have them "little" agian but then God nudges and says ...... love them right where they are.. be content with all the things that come with growing children.. so I will!
I can't help but think of "C" and all the stages that her mom is missing.. I am trying to document everything so one day "C" will have a journal of her journey. Even "L" I am documenting what could have been her first trip to the library, soccer field, and drum roll.... she is going to the beach with us... these are moments that will forever be etched in my memory as like our own kiddos...
so all my new mommy friends... don't wish for the next step... LOVE those babies right where they are... embrace each moment, give too many hugs and kisses, and most of all document so when they look back they will see where God has brought them!
