One at a Time - A Busy Mom's Life

I'm quite lucky that I am able to stay home and take care of my children. I knew before I even got married that I wanted to have kids but what I didn't know then was that I'd be happy as a stay-at-home mom. Being a SAHM gives me countless hours of bonding time with my kids. I've been there from the moment they came home from the hospital right up to the present. I never regretted giving up my career to raise them. Time flies by so fast and before you know it, they're becoming independent. I see that with my daughter now. I used to hover over her while she's doing her homework. Yesterday, she didn't even ask me for help. She went about her work and handed over her math work for me to check her calculations. It doesn't hurt that she's at the top of her class either. Dh and I miss our 'little girl'. We still give her lots of hugs but she's getting to that awkward stage. Our son is 4 1/2 and pretty soon he won't be little anymore. Don't you wish that you can bottle up these fun years? We do.
