"Enjoy these years. They go fast."
How many times have I heard this sage wisdom, and thought, "Yeah right, it's only 10 am and lunch/ nap time is light years away." Or, "There is a reason people have to be told to enjoy these years. They were too fatigued to enjoy them themselves."
Now, sure enough, my youngest is nearly four, and every piece of baby furniture has been donated and even the half-pack of pull-ups given away. In a way, it did go fast.
I hope I can always enjoy the stage our kids are in now, enjoying memories of how they got to where they are today, and anticipating the future, but mostly soaking in who they are now.
