I feel so blessed to be these kids mom. We are in such a fun stage right now. It seems like I just blinked and I have 3 pretty independent kids running around. Benji just started riding his bike without training wheels a couple of weeks ago. He is starting kindergarten in the fall. Tyler has a cam pout with scouts this weekend. Grady is finally playing outside with the boys and not coming in every 5 minutes crying or tattle tailing.
We have arrived!
These are the small things I have been counting down for since they were babies. But now, sadly I don't know if I should have wished it by so quickly. I heard someone say, "you raise them so they can go, but you don't really want them to." I know we aren't too far into this raising kids thing, but we do have 1 who is over half grown already. I am so excited to see what God has in store for him, but I also am so broken hearted to know I one day won't be able to peek in at night and watch him in peaceful slumber.
I am trying to remind myself to savor every moment. If they are going to grow up, I intend for them to do it surrounded with love, attention, and a mother that smothers them. :)
