On my first day back I had a blast but I couldn't help but think,man they grew so much in one week....?
The best part of my job is that I get to see sweet little faces every day. I get to see them grow and learn, explore and do new things on a daily basis.
Something I look forward to with my own kids.
But in one week, honestly, such a short time how can they grow so fast?
Their little legs and arms were longer. Their torso was leaner and my chubby baby cheeks seem to be disappearing.
How can this happen so fast... and does it happen each and every week?
Man it can be... and I'm not even mentioning their mental growth.
I know is a part of life, I know they'll grow each day but it seems more obvious once we are not there to see it.
Which leads me to a bigger dilema...
My kids, my future kids, will the grow this fast?
Or faster as time seems to go by faster and faster as the years pass by?
It just makes me wonder will I blink and have a 5 year faster than I can say goodnight baby?
I know it doesn't happen that fast but life gets busier and I don't want to miss a thing. I desperately hope to be the mom who is always there. The mom that one day will take her 5 year old and rock him or her to sleep just because I can.
The mom that wakes up early to feed her 16 year old breakfast just to enjoy the family time.
But most importantly I hope to one day be the parents that say we didn't miss a thing. We were there. We say it all. We EJOYED it all. Each an every second with them.
Because I know one day our sweet baby boy won't want mommy to hold his hand or our sweet baby girl will be a teenager and won't want to spend every second of her day with mommy or by that means daddy.
So baby E don't grow too fast... Please oh please let mama and papa enjoy you, every second of you, every inch of you and when your older let me kiss you 100 times again. Let papa swing you in his arms again and let us tell you 1000 times a day " I love you to the moon and back" with it ever embarrassing you.
