Piglet’s Deep and Purposeful Thoughts











{March 30, 2008}   The Deep Dark Self

So…here we sit on almost the first day of April and wonder where does the time go! Tomorrow I have to go register my boys for kindergarten! How exciting and yet sad that sounds at the same time! They are big enough and old enough to go to school! Tell me someone…where does the time go! One day you are cuddling that (or those) precious newborn(s) and then they are smiling, walking, getting teeth, growing bigger and then going to preschool and then “big boy school” as Logan likes to call it! They want to grow up so very badly! They want to be big like Dad and Mom! They want to stay up late so they don’t “miss anything!” I want to tell them to enjoy the ride and not grow up so very fast! It’s easy to say that now! I can remember wanting to grow up…who doesn’t! You want so desperately to be big and do “adult” things! I wish their youth could last so much longer than it looks like it’s going to! I want to protect them, put them in a bubble and keep them innocent forever! I want to tell them to enjoy being little and enjoy their toys and all the things that go along with childhood! Sigh! I guess that’s what we moms do! We have these precious little ones…and then spend our time enjoying the details for them while they grow up so very fast! All the while hoping and praying we don’t miss anything! Enjoy it while it lasts…and enjoy every day! There are no do-overs!
