I distinctly remember how sad I felt when my first two kids went to kindergarten. I was excited for them, but sad for me. When they were babies it seemed that time would go on forever, with diapers, and crying, and cleaning up messes. But when they went off to school, I missed them terribly, and I wished that I had enjoyed that last year at home before they became "big kids". My youngest son is now 4, and will be going to kindergarten next year. I have made a conscious decision to make more time for the little things this year. More days at the park, more cuddle time, more story-reading. I realize that I can never get these days back. Everything else will still be waiting for me when my kids are grown, but my kids won't be small forever. This is my reason for my favorite motto: "Live In The Moment".
