Growing up so fast...

All of the sudden I am acutely aware of how grown up my children are becoming. I laugh at the irony they use in storytelling, their wit and their ever burgeoning vocabulary. Yesterday Liam used the word 'contemplating' and last week Fiona told me her imaginary sisters do her bidding because they are her 'minions'. Unbelievable!!!

Lately I have been feeling like their early childhood is fleeting away faster than I can catch it up. It's all just going too fast. It makes me want to steal every moment that I was impatient or inappreciative of their beauty back somehow.

We got word today that Fiona will be in the Pre-K class this year. So, this year both kids will be up at the elementary school. Although Fiona is over the moon, this mama's heart is conflicted and feeling a little tender. It has been a long time since we haven't had at least one kid at work with us. This offers up a whole host of opportunities for our business...but this new era comes an empty space that will just take a little while to fill I guess.
