One last kiss, one last drink of water...anything they can do to avoid bedtime. <br /><br />I need to be better about reminding myself that these days will go by quickly and there will be a time they'll be locking their doors so I can't kiss them goodnight.<br /><br />I really need to be more appreciative and joyful about where they are now.Helenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743718606624231459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-37549128890659065222011-04-13T21:25:23.397-04:002011-04-13T21:25:23.397-04:00I am right there with you.

And I just want some of MY time. <br /><br />But I also try to remember how soon these days will go away and how much I'll long for them to come back. "The days are long, but the years are short." I try to remind myself of that daily.

I'm guilty of rushing through the routine too. My boys are getting older and it's all I can do to make them hug me. My 13 year old gave me a hug for my birthday today. LOL! So I like to cuddle extra with my younger ones. Enjoy it, because as I'm sure you know it doesn't last forever!Charlene Julianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158666031249993821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-57287520242552314902011-04-13T17:35:00.445-04:002011-04-13T17:35:00.445-04:00I'm addicted to little boy snuggles.
