Breakfast Discussion
This
morning as I was serving the kids their breakfast Hannah initiated a
conversation regarding the new year and how old everyone would be turning this
year. I stopped for a moment, listening
as she rattled off the numbers, "So I will be eight, Tori will be eleven,
Hayden will be five and Andrew will be thirteen.", she announced!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Hold
it right there!
I
demand a recount!
My
first baby will be...th-th-thhhh-thirteen?!
Certainly
not?!
Right?!
{SIGH}
Yes,
yes he will be. I recalculated the
math...just in case she was horribly wrong on ALL accounts.
I
remember my childhood taking what seemed like FOREVER, yet somehow watching my
children grow seems like it is literally happening overnight.
As
for this moment, this VERY moment right now I will cuddle with them (because
they all still love cuddling with their Momma),
and I will savor right now, just as I always have because I have a
feeling that this very topic of birthdays and ages will be replayed time and
time again as my babies grow older each day.
