| 26w pregnant with the boys |
I registered my babies for kindergarten! I can't believe it. I have been keeping this blog for over 5 years now. My babies, those babies who I worked so hard to stay pregnant with, to breast feed, to keep safe... will be going to kindergarten.
I know it is cliche, but it is true- the time has flown. I remember so clearly the anxiety of being in bed rest- particularly strict bed rest. The wondering about what my babies would look like and be like as people. And to now have these two wonderful boys, talking to me, sharing their days, getting ready to read. I look at their little boy faces and still see that baby face in them; the way their faces looked as newborns, as toddlers. To think they will be in elementary school!
I'm filled with panic at how fast it all goes. I love having young children. I know many friends (and Eric!) who can't wait to get through this stage, but I love it. I love the snuggles, the sweet way they talk (and mispronounce words), the constant surprise at new development, and, frankly, the being needed. It's a large part of why I want another baby, so that this stage can go on forever. Kindergarten marks the start, in my head, of them being big kids. Soon they will start puberty, have bar mitzvahs, and not want to hug me. I can't stand it.
I'm so proud of my boys, because they are wonderful people so far, and I am sure that they will thrive next year. But- my babies are growing up!
