Getting Bigger

I am not "sad" that Caroline is getting bigger. It just seems strange that she can do some things. She is in a sports camp right now. And it is really fun to watch. But not so long ago she needed my help just to stand.




I wonder what it is like for my parents to seem me as a mother; to see me buy and manage my own home. I know that I get sucked into making my kids younger than they are and they are not that old.

I love every stage that they are in (although I could stand for Grace to be a bit less courageous on the playground) but I do miss it a little when the move on.

Kris and I were talking the other day that Grace seems to be going faster than Caroline and we do not like it. Knowing she is our last baby, we wanted her to go at our pace a little more.

Oh well, just another lesson for Mom and Dad. You cannot change or your children getting bigger. You can just enjoy the ride.
