You brought your sweet wee one home and heard it a bazillion times…”enjoy this time because it goes so fast.” Yeah, right! Diapers, sleepless nights, spit-up stained clothes feel like eternity, but it gets easier. Next thing you know you’re watching him blow out the candles on his sixth birthday and you think, “two more six year time spans and he’ll be graduating high school. Then he’ll go to college.

And then they get married and they have to spend every Christmas with her side of the family and I mean they’re my grand kids too…and…what if…” STOP and BREATH!!! Yes, we learn very quickly that time going fast is a complete understatement. And there are times our kiddos try to grow up quicker than we like, so be ready!
