It seems life just keeps on going even when you ask nicely for it to halt for just a bit...
I measure my children throughout the year, usually around their birthdays. I guess it was about time I measured them again. My son only grew about a quarter of an inch in the last seven months :) Six foot three/four inches is quite tall enough. He already has issues with sitting in cars and planes; we don't need to add to that. My oldest daughter who has been trying to stay shorter than me is now the same height when she stands up straight. No she doesn't slouch her shoulders; instead she falls into her hip and bends her knees. My youngest is coming up fast. She has gained about two inches in the past seven months.
I am reminded how quickly time flies when I get photo reminders of years past. My children use to sit on my lap and snuggle with me and give me nose kisses. At least my youngest still does, but how long will that last? I continue to remind myself to enjoy every moment I have with them; before too long they will be grown up and move on. I wish I could bundle up some of the hugs they give me for days when this house will be empty.
It's funny! I TREASURE my time alone, but I still miss them when they are not with me.
I am one blessed mamma :)
