It goes by so quickly
Friday, October 30, 2009
We're on the tail end of the sick train. On the one hand, no more throwing up. On the other hand, no more 5 hour naps.
I really miss naps.
Other things I realize I've missed of late.
Diaper bags. Guys, I no longer carry a ginorm diaper bag with me wherever I go. I also don't have extra clothes in the back of the car, a bottle warmer in the glove compartment, emergency ziploc bags, or a *gasp* stroller.
The back of my car? Has a yoga mat and free weights.
My purse? Has my wallet, keys, a stray toy or two, and if I remember to put it in, a diaper.
When did I get to the point in my life where diapers were an optional carrying item?
I have full fledged KIDS.
Next thing I know, they'll be graduating college and having their own babies.
I guess those people that said "it goes by so quickly" actually knew what they were talking about.

It does go fast. Yesterday I had the diaper bag, today I have one out of the house and another driving his own car.

The day I knew we had full fledged kids was the day I told both girls "Let's go." and didn't need to help anyone with shoes, help anyone carry her stuff, or help anyone with her car seat / seat belt.

I miss the diaper bag days, too!
I actually carried it around much longer than necessary because I couldn't come to grips with a real purse. Sadness.

Very well said. I need to remember that as I am stressing to get the diaper bag packed.
