It’s the last day of November 2014.
It hit me really, really hard that in just 10 days, my baby will be THREE.
What the WHAT? (Tiny’s favorite phrase, FYI).
Having children that are 7, 5, and 3 sounds SO MUCH OLDER than 7, 4, and 2.
And yet, in December, that’s what we’ll move to.
My four year old becomes kindergarten age, and my baby leaves “baby-ville.”
No more counting her age in months.
No more free entry to places that are free for under 3.
No more baby.
Slow down baby.
Slow down.

November 30, 2014 at 7:02 pmOh man I know this feeling well. Lily just turned 4 and will be in kindergarten next year. I am so not ready and just can’t believe my baby will be in elementary school next year. Where does the time go?!!

November 30, 2014 at 8:22 pmAww.. the cutie. My good friend’s son just turned three yesterday and it flipped me out. I remember holding him. I remember doing his newborn photos for her. And it will really flip me out to have Des turn three next spring.

December 2, 2014 at 1:23 pmIt’s amazing isn’t it? Sometimes I look at my kids, and I am in awe of the pace of this life- despite the long lingering moments far and wide.
I look at old pictures, and I reflect on those precious years…
And now? I stand in sheer amazement of how much they have grown and who they are now.
It doesn’t stop. It never slows down. Lets savor as much as we can, my friend!
