Growing up fast!

It just occured to me Sunday afternoon, that time sure does fly!!!!! I always got told growing up that my parents should put bricks on my head, and I always wanted to be older.  But, now that I'm a parent I see the wisdom in putting bricks on my kids heads! My youngest will be 2 in one month!  I can't believe how much he has changed just in the last six months! He talks non-stop, understands, answers, and even tells you what he wants. To put it simply, HE'S GROWING TOO FAST!!!  I'm not ready for my baby to be a little boy. I'm not ready for my little boys to be a year older either. My oldest recently turned 8, and my second will be 4!!! Eight years old......eight years ago I became a parent, had to grow up, had to put someone elses needs before my own. Shocking I know, but it seems that at the very moment I held my first child, and the second and third, I knew that that very moment was what God had put me on this planet for. For my kids.  All three of my boys each give me a new purpose, a new look at life, a new love I didn't think I was capable of.  Yes, there are moments I would love to escape it all, when all three are complaining, after changing the 6th stinky diaper in a row, after trying to play referee during a scwable.  But the sweet smile, huge hug, and soft little voice that says momma makes every bit of it worth while.

I am so thankful for my little blessings that God entrusted to me to care for!  Thank you Lord......thank you Lord... ....THANK YOU LORD!!!!
