Time…
So it seems like just yesterday I was bringing Aiden home from the hospital and then I blinked and now I have a 2 year old and my second son is due in 5 weeks. What will happen if I blink again? Will I have a 4 year old, a 2 year old and a 3rd one on the way? Do you remember those long lazy summer days of childhood when time seemed to stretch on endlessly before you and every minute felt like an hour? I remember my mom telling me that time speeds up as you get older and I never did believe her for a second. But as I approach my 10 year (yes 10, isn’t that absolutely nuts?) high school reunion, look at my two year old who I feel like was just born yesterday, and anticipate the arrival of Lucas, I will tell you now that she is absolutely right and it scares me because the time I have with my children will be all too short and over all too soon (spoken from the view of a mom who is soon to be knee deep in diapers and laundry and the antics of two boys) and we absolutely must make the most of it and cherish each moment, and let our kids enjoy the long days of the future that lay before them even if some of those days they are nearly bored to tears (it will encourage creativity). Because they will grow and each day will be so full of good memories that they won’t last nearly long enough and they will see their children transforming before their very eyes.
