and the time is going too fast. Yesterday Mitch came home with his kindergarten cap and gown picture. I held my breath because Mitch is notorious for this really weird smile, but how surprised was I when I pulled out this picture.
There he is, my son. He looks so grown up. My mind starts to flash back on my baby, where has he gone? The little thing that loved to be held when he was born and never wanted to be put down. To the 18 month old who would come and lay by me when I was so tired from all the radiation that I just didn't have the energy to hold him. To the 3-4 year old who was learning colors, shapes, letters, and words faster than I could keep up. To this six year old who has learned to read, tie his shoes, can kick my butt at any wii game, funny and sweet.
As I told my sister, when these children are born we are their everything. Then one day before we realize it, we find that slowly they are becoming more independent and needing us less but here's the interesting turn, I find that I need them more.
The old saying is true, I couldn't imagine my life with children and now I certainly can not imagine my life with out them. Being a mom has got to be the greatest thing I have ever done.
