I don't want to miss a moment
I feel like my life is going in fast forward. Wasn't it just yesterday when I married my sweetheart, and promised to spend eternity being his best friend? And then we had Jarom. I wanted a baby so bad. I swore that when I had a baby I would try to be the best mom I could be, and not complain. Just when things were going perfect, they got even better. We were blessed with the baby girl that I had dreamed of having my whole life. Now I have a little boy who is growing faster than I ever thought he could, and in a matter of weeks my baby girl will be one. Somewhere between the sleepless nights, the tantrums and the baby teeth I seem to have lost track of the important things in this life. These phases, bad days, temper tantrums, and beautiful childhood moments are passing faster every day, and before I know it my babies are going to be all grown up; these days that I am going through will be nothing more than memories. I wonder how I will remember these times; will it be with fond and happy memories, or will I have regrets of not spending enough time and laughs with them. I wish I could somehow keep them little forever; keep them innocent and safe and perfect forever. I know that life is about progressing, but sometimes even the thought is enough to bring me to tears. Am I doing everything that I should be? Am I truly being the best that I am capable of being for them? I can be better; more patient, more understanding, more fun, more loving, more supportive, more like the mom that they deserve. I can always do better.

Kiama, thank you so much for your very thoughtful comment on my blog. I really needed to hear what you said. I hadn't been to your blog in way too long! Jarom and Taysia are looking so much older and, if possible, even cuter! I totally agree, I don't know how kids can grow up so fast. I often feel like you do, like there are so many areas that I can be better in. But, you really are such a good mom. Your kids absolutely adore you and you are making great memories every day. I miss you! I wish we lived closer so that we could hang out.
I want to copy and paste your post onto my blog. I feel exactly the same and you said it so perfectly. You seem like the best Mom ever though so I know you don't need to worry. Thanks for this reminder to me to do better, enjoy life more and be happier!
You more patient? I don't think that is possible. You are a great mom and soooo patient. I leave your house vowing to be more patient with my kids. I too wish these moments would last and last but they don't so enjoy every stage, good and bad! I can't believe my baby is already in school dealing with hurt feelings and what not. I want to protect her from every getting hurt but I can't and it kills me! You are an amazing mom, wife, aunt, sister-in law and friend. Thanks for the example!
