Stop growing so fast. Since when did you become a little girl instead of a runny-nosed, tantrum throwing toddler? Since when do your legs stretch out this long on the bed instead of being curled up by your pillow? Since when can you "mother" me and tell me how to do things instead of asking for help? They grow too fast. With a new baby coming I'm starting to miss my other girls as babies. I just want to hold and rock each one to sleep. At least they still let me sing a few lullabies before bed and Olivia actually wanted to rock in the rocking chair before she went to sleep the other night. She must have missed it since that was how I got her to sleep for many, many, months as a toddler.
I love watching my kids grow and become more independent, but it also sad. They will never be little babies again. But I look forward to our new little one with eyes open trying to take in everything around her. The lights and shapes, the smells, the sounds. So, to everyone who ever told me that I need to cherish my children as little ones because it goes by too fast and I thought "You're kidding. I just want this crying kid to go to sleep and to go and play and to clean up after themself,"--You are right. It goes by too fast.

I loved your post. Kids do grow way to fast. My oldest is now ten and it is way sad. I have no more toddlers or babies. One nice thing is that when they are older you can carry on a conversation with them.
I do admit though that I miss my babies.
Time sure does fly by way to fast. I miss having a little baby to hold and play with. Good luck with the new one. I am sure it will be so nice to hold and cuddle a baby again.
It was a sad time for me to see my baby days come to an end,in some ways then in others I knew it was time. but it sounds like you are taking the time to enjoy each new phase they come to. and yes they do grow up way to fast.
I know! It's so sad to see them grow up! Our Cole just turned 9...I was really sad that day. I just want to hold them all the time!
