Yesterday, I stood outside of the boys' preschool waiting for them to come out. The door opened and Ciaran was the first in line. I saw him and it shocked me a little. He looked so big and grown up. Standing there in his jeans and Nortre Dame jersey with his green fall vest. I swear for a second I didn't even recognize him. How can this all go by so quickly. Doesn't really seem fair to me. Why do we only get such a short time to be with our children before they have to grow up and be part of the real world? At that moment I wanted to take them all home and lock them up forever....
Then he came running at me yelling "Mommy" holding his latest school creation and I realized he might look grown up but he is still my baby. They are all still my babies. They will always be my babies.
Take time today to really cherish all the time you have with your children. Before you know it they won't want to run and jump in our arms.

Your last paragraph is my excuse for giving in to laying next to Tayten each night until he falls asleep. Someday, I won't even be allowed in his room.
As my mother told me year's ago, no matter where you go or what you do you'll always be my baby girl, I told her no matter what, you were the every first person to love me, because you loved me even before I was born.
