Feels like yesterday I had a two year old and a newborn. And yet, here I am planning their third and first birthdays. Where does the time go?

The days are long, the years fly by. I have two high schoolers in the blink of an eye…so will you.

Savor the moments. Try to always remember to focus on the positive and give yourself a break when you mess it up. Acknowledge your mistakes to them - try to build memories with them that will be treasured not buried.

Enjoy the people they will become - took me a while to realize they will be who they are, our job is to support them not mould them.

Good luck.

This is so true. I have a four year old and a one year old. Third one on it's way. And although every day is a struggle and I am more than happy when the kids are finally in bed, especially the last year flew by.

Mine is getting ready to go to college and I have no answer for you about where the time goes

Tell me about it, mine are 12 and 19 and I can still remember when they respected me :P

That'll come back around. They need to grow apart for a while first. Mine is 21 and we talk almost every day
