• Mommy Musings……

  

  My kids are growing……too fast. 

  I realized this yesterday when I told Kev that starting the end of this month Piper could start on cereal and some solid foods.  She’ll hit the 6 month mark on September 21st!  In all honesty, she could probably do cereal now…..I am waiting though…..I guess maybe I am not ready?  

  I realized this about once a month when I have to go thru her clothes and put away ones that are too small. 

  I realized this today when Mma Adjei called me from Happy Home saying, “Guess What?  Andrew used the big potty!!!!!”  I was so thrilled, but also a bit sad.  Sure, I am ready to be done with diapers with Andrew, but big boy underwear means that he’s becoming a big boy.  (Am I the only mother who feels just a bit scared about this whole potty training thing? )

  I realized this last week when I dropped Andrew off at Happy Home and he didn’t cry, but gave me a hug and kiss and waved on the porch till he couldn’t see the truck anymore.  (I was proud and sad all at the same time!)

  I also realized this a few days ago when Andrew counted to ten and did all his ABC’s. 

  I realized this a few weeks ago when I was organizing photos and came across some old video clips of Andrew learning to crawl!  Kev and I cracked up as we remembered he would slap his hands out in front of him and pull his body.  How could we have forgotten those things after only 2 and a half years? 

  I realized it today when I was holding Piper and she started bouncing. 

  Some days, I just wish I could freeze them both!  I know though that I would miss out on all the other joyous times of parenting.  This is why I have to cherish every moment…..because it truly goes too fast!
