something so routine, all the sudden seems so "sacred". sleeping babies, now growing up... how much longer will they ask for their buddies at bedtime? how i want to treasure these years, even as i am tired and long for a "break", i dread that all too common sentiment spoken by so many parents... "where has the time gone"? i am sure i am feeling even more sentimental on the eve of my "little guy's" first day of kindergarten! i know it's only 3 hours a day and he will love it, but i find myself wondering... have i made the most of these years at home with him? have i prepared him for what lies ahead? will he be the leader or follow the leader? will he be the class clown or the teacher's pet? will he miss me??? okay... so i'm rambling. i guess all these bedtime contemplations remind me to appreciate each day and each little quirk that all too quickly fade over the years. so the next time i see my little olivia "sucking" her fingers, as i admonish her to "get those fingers out of your mouth", i will also burn the image in my memory, only to recall with longing as i wonder "where has the time gone"?
