Don't blink...because in no time they will be teenagers and acting like adults. It is getting hard to remember when they were that young, and at times I really miss it. Nothing like holding your child in your lap as they fall asleep,
Shoot, they're growing up too fast as it is. My l'il girl went from a newborn to walking & climbing 12-toothed toddler overnight. My 4yo son changes daily. I miss the little guy that used to hang on to my shorts and ask me to help him put on his shoes. Now, he's mister independent. He went from "The Wiggles" to "Batman Begins" and "fantastic Four" in what seems like a week.
I spend a lot of time with my family, and I can still see the changes in them almost daily.
We still have a blast (all sorts of play), and we're doing new things (learning to read, etc), but I can already tell that they're growing up too quickly.
-------------------------------
I usually enjoy getting them to sleep (provided it's not going to be a 12-round brawl). I just wished they would "stay asleep". =) Now, [1] why don't either of my kids like covers?, and [2] why does my l'il girl always want to sleep sideways with her feet in my face?
-----------------------------
As a side, I am feeling a strong urging, almost compelled, to adpot a child. I don't know if it's because I am pro-life and see it as a responsibility, or if it is something religous or what. Does anyone have experience with adoption, and care to shed some light on it. At this point, I don't have a preference on gender, race, or nationality.
