Time is Flying

Do you ever look at your kids, or anyone in your life, and find yourself amazed at the changes in them? Do you wonder if you have changed as much?

When Ellis first turned 3, I was unsure if he or I would survive "the trying threes". Lately though, he has been a lot more respectful, and exceptionally sweet. His language, and imagination are unreal, and his bright shiny self is shining through. My pride in who he is becoming as a little boy is swelling over. He is quite the little man, and knows how to pull on my heart strings.

Also watching his faith grow, from nothing really, because we have just recently introduced it in our home, is awe inspiring. Children are so open, and really so close to God. It makes you wonder why it can't always stay that way.

And Lainey. My little Elaine Rose. Her language is taking off too, and her understanding of everything is amazing. She is taking on more of a little girls personality than a babies. She has opinions on everything, and is extremely nurturing. I look at her, and wonder if that was what I was like, before some things in life changed who I was when I was innocent, and had all the self esteem in the world. She is assured, and shiny, and confident. I find myself being more assured because I have an example to set. I am a better stronger woman because I have a daughter to be that way for.

The changes in my kids is awesome. I love that I can watch them grow and change, and enjoy who they are becoming. As these changes happen, it makes me wonder where does the time go? How are my kids already so big. Am I going to blink and them be going to prom? I hope that I don't waste a moment. This special time when I am still so needed by them won't last forever. I have to say though, I am enjoying the ride.
