When we were DINKs (dual-income, no kids) time seemed unimportant, unnoticed. We would go to work, enjoy the weekends, eventually a birthday would come along & you realized another year had passed. Then, we have kids and suddenly you have a constant reminder of how fast time really passes-they grow, they change, they achieve when only yesterday they couldn't.
Last week was another reminder of how Macy has matured...with her class Valentine's Day party preparations. For the first year ever, she made her box-all by herself & at school. No asking for help or for supplies...and it was a COOL box too. Somehow she made a real mailbox that would stand up on its own. She also addressed all her cards by herself, made her own list, never asked for help, just took off with them & completed them at night in her bed before going to sleep. Then she took them to school, handed them out, & didn't forget anyone.
We've only got 10 years left of her at home...barely more time left than what we've had her. The thought of one of my birds leaving the nest...I don't want to go there today.
