Well Today was the is the first day of school. I can hardly believe that my kids are gettting so big. My youngest is in Kindergarten, it seems just like yesterday that I was holding and rocking her to sleep. My son is in second grade and didn't even want a goodbye kiss today. I maganged to blow a quick kiss to him as he was walking into the class, and did get a wink back. I am afraid the days of running up to mommy with arms wide open are over. Now days it is Ben 10 and and Jonny Test and Legos. On the other hand I still get a great joy out of early morning snuggles, and middle of the night bathroom trips from my daughter. When you hold your brand new baby just minutes old and people tell you enjoy the time it goes so fast they aren't kidding. Through the feedings and the diapers you can only long for the day where you get more than two hours sleep at a time. You think to yourself I can't wait till they can walk so I can put them down and get some sleep. But it does go so fast. Too fast. This morning it has me thinking back to all the midnight feeding and crib side songs, longing for my sleepless nights and dark circled eyes. To just have a moment of rocking in the chair and singing lullabies.
