When did my Babies grow up.

So its been awhile since I blogged. I was watching my girls play today in the yard and as they climbed on the toys by themselves and got in and out of the trampoline without my help, I started to ask myself when did you grow up?!?!?

Now don't get me wrong they are still my little girls, but they are becoming so independent and I think to myself WOW! I love how they learn more and use their imagination more, but I still want those baby cuddles. LOL. It seems like yesterday I was bringing them home from the hospital, and changing little butts and now those butts don't need me changing them.

While it is saddening to see them growing up so fast, I can't help but love every minute of it. Just knowing that they are learning so much it is exciting. Tiffany is loving school and that is awesome. The Twinkies are not wanting any of my help for anything right now, and even my baby Alyssa is becoming a big girl. I love it!

I sometimes just sit back and watch them plan and I am amazed by the way they play with each other, and how they interact. I am so amazed by it all that I just wonder if all mothers and fathers have that same feeling of awe when they watch their kids grow up. Man I love being a mommy to these girls. These are the aha moments of parenthood. Oh the possibilities that lie ahead of these kiddos. Man I love it. I hope they aspire to all they want to be and can do everything they ever desire to do. I hope as their Mommy I can show them the right path and the paths less traveled, and that I can learn to sit back and let them lead their way down the path that they choose. I want this for them because by me letting them make the choice they will always know I am behind them, no matter the choice, and that I will always love them! I hope the treat others fairly, I hope they lose something once so they know what its like to lose(a game or love). I want them to feel that emotion so they will learn to love with all their heart and to have compassion for others when they lose something. I hope they learn to care for their fellow human beings and keep a simple sort of innocence but not be naive.

Wow the dreams and hopes we have for our children are endless...

Today I am just MOM, and man do I LOVE IT...
