I often sit and think that I wish time would slow down. It's so hard for me to believe Ben is entering high school and my baby will soon be going into third grade. I don't even know how this happened. I can't help but think in just four short years, from now, we will be finalizing our plans to send Ben to college...and Daniel and I will be 40!!!
I know Daniel and I have tried our hardest to be good parents and to provide our kids with everything they want and need as well providing them with opportunities and experiences. They don't hear the word "no" often and while I know some people may not agree with that, I honestly don't care. I say all the time, they are only kids once. We'll never get these days back and it makes me happy to know that they'll look back and think "I had a really awesome childhood!"
So, I guess my advice for today and everyday is...say "yes" more than "no" and take time each day to reflect on what a blessing children are...even when they are driving you nuts!
