I try to live in the moment. Let her kiss & hug me & play while she is still willing. Some day she will not reach for my hand so quickly. She will call her friends on the phone instead of calling my name. This makes me sad. I want these moments to last. So, next time I wish for time to go faster while she is throwing a fit...I will take it back and hug her a little tighter.
Mommy Mondays: Live in the Moment
22 April 2013
I try to live in the moment. Let her kiss & hug me & play while she is still willing. Some day she will not reach for my hand so quickly. She will call her friends on the phone instead of calling my name. This makes me sad. I want these moments to last. So, next time I wish for time to go faster while she is throwing a fit...I will take it back and hug her a little tighter.

Oh gosh this is so true! The parent time paradox! Each moment is so slow but then BOOM its a month later and you can't believe it! And wow- kindergarten registration! I can't imagine- I guess we'll be there in 4 years!!
So true! We need to live in the moment and cherish every bit of it!
I have this same quote on one of my blog post...just love reading it from time to time!

Thanks for the reminder! Those temper tantrums are no fun right now! Thanks for linking up to mommy mondays!
Julie - thank you for this post. It helps me remember the things that are most important. We all lose track of time and I sometimes I wish I could freeze it. Thanks for liking up to mommy mondays!
Great post. Found your site on cantgoogleeverything.blogspot.com
Thanks for letting me "swing by"!
So true! The 4 months my daughter spent in the NICU were the slowest months of my life. And I wanted nothing more than to fast forward to the day she could come home. Now she's almost 19 months old and I feel like the past year has flashed by in the blink of an eye. I am trying so hard to embrace every day, even those tough toddler meltdowns.
Thank you for the reminder! Kids grow up so quickly! I have a 2 year old and a 19 year old. I have 2 extremes and I am truly trying to savor the moment.
