A Zits cartoon (that I actually enjoyed) found in the newspaper several months ago
Every time I talk with my Grandma, she mentions how special it is to be a parent of young children. Over and over she has told me that even though it is hard, it is the best time and I will someday miss it. I have no doubt about that. I already have moments when I look at Mason and miss when he was even more round and toddley! Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE (I really do) having a 2 1/2 year old, and I am proud of who his little personality is becoming, but I already feel like it is all happening too fast. I am ready for time to stop for a spell and let me enjoy my boys in peace. Enjoy this time when they think that I am so fun to play with and when every joke I tell is the best. When I can fix every ailment with a smooch and when I can snuggle-buggle to my hearts content. I know that every age is an adventure and that life gets better and better, but I am determined to not wish this phase away. Even on the hard days when we have house-a-tosis, the boys are sick, and every last ounce of patience is being squeezed out of me. No matter what, I am going to enjoy every last drop.

Wow. You know you're pregnant when a cartoon can make you completely bawl your eyes out. But really, this is such a sweet post, and I'm still crying...because I feel exactly the same way. Thanks for the reminder. It's easy to forget how precious and fleeting these years are with tiny children. There's never a dull moment with them! I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.
Good thoughts. I would do well to keep them in mind more often.
What a cute cartoon! I love it! The time with our babies really does fly by at rapid speed. It makes me sad.
