This is a warning to all of you parents out there who think that your kids will be kids for much longer; they won’t! I can remember feeling so tired, worn out and almost looking ahead to the day my oldest would cut his own meat, tie his own shoes and do his homework without me reminding him every two minutes to get back at it. But that was just yesterday…and before I knew what hit me, my little boy can tie his own shoes, orders steak in a restaurant, likes a girl, rides the city bus to school and is going to be leaving my nest before I blink! I know I have a little more time with him, but things really have changed quickly. My advice, slow down, take a deep breath and ENJOY those little busy-bodies…because next week they will be just too grown up. -Anna
