You're going to miss this!

Like the song says "You're going to miss this. You're going to want this back. You're going to wish these days hadn't gone by so fast" I often have to remind myself of this!! I think that is why some days are such a struggle because I cannot find the balance between staying afloat and slowing down to enjoy each moment. Every night I check on the boys before I go to bed (I am the night person around here...it's "my" time)I love to just look at them so peaceful. I love that they love for me to hold them and I am so guilty of sometimes wanting to rush those moments so I can get something done ( or I end it because they are fighting over my lap). Today Caden got up from his nap and came downstairs very sleepily (he hadn't been asleep as long as normal). I figured the afternoon was about to start so I told him to sit on the couch and I would be right back. I walked back into the room after just a moment and this is what I found. I walked by and then had to grab the camera and capture it. How do they get so big so fast? How can I make sure I make him into a respectful, God loving, kind, honest, young man? I put all this pressure on myself and that is why I often pass up moments like this where I just need to take it in. These two boys are amazing and such a gift. They depend on us for everything right now. Caden is so full of questions these days. Each question leads to another question and every answer I give leads to even more questions. It is tough:) Just in the past few weeks I am seeing so many changes in him. He will be 4 years old in 22 days and he starts pre-school part time next week. Man how time flies. I just love the look of innocence and peace on their faces while they sleep. I hope it stays that way a long time!
