I was just mind-...I can completely relate, Kristin! I was just mind-boggled the other day when I realized my "baby" is going to be 7 in just a few short months. It's so hard to accept and honestly, it's given me a really bad case of baby fever. Eek! lol But my oldest is now 10 1/2 and I wonder how on earth I'm going to survive the teenage years. We've already dealt with so much in just the last year or two--walking that line between puberty and childhood innocence is difficult! It really makes me miss those days of diapers, baby babbles and tantrums. But it's not all bad. Sometimes I'm able to get a glimpse of the young woman she will be before I know it and it makes me proud (and sometimes scared). It's nice to be able to reason with them more (at least theoretically). As tough as it is, it's a relief when you see them becoming their own person with their own thoughts and ideas and knowing that you played a big role in shaping who they've become.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-73730663618868200602012-02-29T09:13:17.343-05:002012-02-29T09:13:17.343-05:00i could've written this!! while i still have a...i could've written this!! while i still have a little one, it's still 'weird' to have the older ones.and while it comes with new things and 'troubles' i'm enjoying not having a "baby-baby" to worry about. and not having to worry about waddling huge and pregnant.

Great thoughts!!!! I think the &q...Yes, yes, yes!!<br /><br />Great thoughts!!!! I think the "older" years can be just as tricky but in new and different ways. <br /><br />I was just thinking this morning that nothing brings me to my knees more than being a mama of many kiddos. I realize there is NO way I can do it on my own and it's only by His grace and mercy that I can do this motherhood stuff! So thankful for a God who knows all of our needs.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483120109044136080noreply@blogger.com
