My baby is turning 1, and my oldest turns 8 tomorrow… and I can’t stop thinking about how fast time has slipped through my hands.
I blinked and the sleepless nights, the tiny cries, the first smiles, they turned into memories.
I wish I could pause time, even just for a little while just to hold them longer,
to memorize every little detail,
to soak in the version of them that exists right now before it changes again.
Because the truth is…
these days feel long sometimes,
but the years?
they’re gone in a heartbeat.
And if I could have one wish today…
it would be to stay here just a little longer
in this chaos, in this love, in these moments that I know one day I’ll miss the most.
That is such a sweet sentiment, and it’s so true! Like it’s exciting to watch them grow and change, but at the same time, you just want them to stay cuddly little babies forever.
I feel this to my core! My first is turning 11 and my boy will turn 1 three months later. Its bittersweet and makes my mama heartache because I want then to stay this little forever
