Yes, my boys are growing up really fast. I hope their brain is growing as fast too.
When they were small, I can't wait for them to grow up. Now I really missed their 'younger days of innocence'.
Gotta find more things to occupy yourself soon! Yeah bittersweet feeling when kids grow up. For me I'm glad mine are no longer in the super-dependent baby/toddler stage. Yet sometimes I long for the times I had them as babies cuddled in my arms. Wish there's a way to go back to selected moments as and when we want!
ReplyDeleteI felt their kindergarten years are the best. Everyone is carefree as long as all is healthy and not so dependent like a baby which you need to watch over like a hawk.

ReplyDeleteYes, the days fast faster when they are schooling. Me too...if I can I will press the 'pause' button when they were in kindergarten.
DeleteMust be nice for you to look back at their baby photos.
ReplyDeleteYes, I sometimes take the album out and 'forced' my kids to look at it, to remember the good times. Else they will only remember their 'hard and stressful' school times!
