Your gonna want this back, your gonna wish these days, hadn't gone by so fast... These are some good times so take a good look around. You may not know it now, but your gonna miss this.
Its true. Every now and then, take time to step back and realize what all you have. What you might not have tomorrow, even what you have today, its going to change and could become something else. The love you feel, the way your wanted and needed and appreciated. The way YOU want, and need and appreciate. It all changes with time. Its crazy.
I can remember when my kids were little. I had several little kids at once. 4 children in 7 years? Yeah they were close together. I remember having to take all four to the store. The tantrums, the please moms, the baby is hungry and where can I hide to feed hers, the boy lost his binki where is the kind he likes open it now, buy it on the way outs... I never once back then thought to myself "One day my kids will not want to go to the store with me, and I will wish they did" Or "One day I'll wish tantrums, lost binkies and places to nurse will be SIMPLE problems"
That day has come though. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE that I can now leave, and run to the store for milk without first finding 8 shoes, socks, 4 outfits, a binki, a blanket, buckling up, car seats and waking someone up from a much needed nap. I love watching my kids grow, and seeing them have opinions and ideas and friends. I miss though, being all they knew, all they ever wanted, all they ever needed. I miss being so much a part of their lives. I miss being needed so much... Although back then I remember wishing they were not so needy.
Its crazy how things work. So today I would like to notice that I too will miss this. The teenage fits, the boyfriends, the messes not cleaned up after, the buying school supplies and first days and new outfits and shoes and back packs... I know 3 years from now I will be looking back missing this too. So I will try my hardest to cherish it, and love it, and put up with it.
I have four awesome children. Who love and learn and grow every day. I am a lucky mom. I love my babies!
