Where did the time go??

Yes I'm sure we can all ask one another this question time and time again.  I remember my dad always saying "life will go so quick once you have kids".  Well he wasn't kidding.

This am, I sent my 3 precious babies to school, all full time..(insert crying).  Boedy was sad... "mommy I don't want to go to school, I am going to miss you, I just want to stay home and be with you, please mommy I don't need school, I will do something else but I dont need school" as he cried to me.  Aubrie was excited, "I'm so excited for school mom I cant wait to see my friends and and see what they say about my new school shoes" lol.. oh my precious Aubrie and her style.  And Allie was nervous, "I don't want to go to school.  Why cant you home school like Aunty Ara and Charlotte??" Please mom please"..

My heart broke in pieces this am as I watched the school bus drive away. Where did the time go??  I thought of this day.  I never thought it would happen for years right.. well those years have passed and the time has come.  As I walked back into my house I wanted to reach for my phone and call my dad.  And tell him he was right.  The years went so quick.  I want the chaos back. I want three kids under 3 again, the crying, the temper tantrums, the diaper's.  I want all three back in my home, in my care, where I get to watch them all day and they only look up to mommy.  My dad told me once "you are gonna miss these years Cari", when my kids were all so small and I had many chaotic days.  And I truly do.

Boedy begged me to come to school this am cause he was scared.   He didn't know where his class room was or who his teacher was, and now he had to go in the big doors instead of the Kindergarten doors.  And Aubrie as well, new class room new teacher.  And Allie already goes in the big kid doors and cant even play on the play ground with Aubrie and Boedy, cause she's classified as a big kid.  Well I decided to wake Brynlee and go.  How many more years are my kids going to beg me to come take them to school?? Not many.  When the bus pulled up at school, I did to, and the smiles on the kids faces were so awesome to see.  I took each to there class room and let each one of them go.  Just like that.

I came home and had myself a really good cry.  Life is precious.  If only so many people could understand how precious your children truly are.  And that they do grow up so quick.  I look at my sisters kids and it shocks me how grown they are.  How once she had 4 kids under 5 and the chaos in her home, and how precious they were... and now there teenagers and growing so fast.

  Life goes by in a blink.  We have to make every day count and realize that our little babies arn't going to be babies for very long.
