I guess I'm not like most other mothers. I don't look back and longingly wish my kids would just stay little forever. I loved and (usually) enjoyed them then, and I love and enjoy them now.
Frankly I think we are closer now that we are all older and wiser and I enjoy watching them grow and evolve! Cheers to all phases of parenting and to our shifting roles as they become young adults.
Way to go Yada! Enjoy your children while you can. Quality time with your children growing up builds a lifetime of memories. Wishing I could turn back the hands of time and spend more time with my children. BigPapa
