I've always prided myself in being a mom who didn't want to hold her kids back, who let them grow up in the timing that they ought... I've changed my mind. They must stop now. Tonight, as a matter of fact.
Bekah & Joey start preschool tomorrow. I have no idea how this happened. I swear - this was them just yesterday.
But alas, all good things must come to an end, so it is with a heavy heart that I send my kids into the real world... Sure, it's just preschool, but to me, it seems like the rest of their lives are out of my hands. It certainly is good to know that they're held in God's hands (which I do realize that they've never been in my hands, but it feels even less so now).
They, of course, couldn't be more thrilled, or any less sensitive. Bekah just told me today, "Mom, I know you're sad that we're going to school because you'll hardly see us anymore." Yeah. Thanks. Just what I needed.
It seems hard to believe that these memories even ever happened.
I'm not sure who came up with the phrase that for those with little kids the days are slow, but the years are fast, but I'm finding that so very poignant right now.
Seriously, I must just be the most blessed mom in the entire world.

Yeah....I hear you. Like how did my twinnie boys get to be so OLD....you know...with wives and hairy legs!?

WOW. I can't believe they are starting preschool already. I can remember the excitement when they were born. I can understand how you feel. I can't believe Tyler and Katie are in high school and middle school, respectively. I know God will watch out for them as they start the next phase of their lives, school.
we need a follow-up post on how they liked preschool...
I cried at this blog post. Ethan is not allowed to go to pre-school ever. Furthermore, I'm letting him have his pacifier till he goes to college Then he can have it only while he sleeps. He is my baby and needs to remain that way. The end. And, PS, your kids are awesome and cute. Miss you, Tami
