Like the speed of light

I was thinking about Twinkie and her anticipation, mixed with fear, over Bebop starting kindergarten. While I tease her all the time about her little girl growing up; the reality is, things do change too fast.

Sometimes it’s hard to remember when Megmonster was so tiny and I would spend the entire day holding her because I was afraid to let go.

Or who could have imagined that my premature and fragile little noodle would one day be the biggest kid in his class.

But this is reality. Kids grow up and life changes.

Get all the hugs you can Twink. It’s going to go fast.

Ah, parenthood... I'm in the throes of planning for my first. But my friend Beth said that if people actually thought long and hard about all the drawbacks to having a kid, the human race would be dead already!

Matt,

I can't think of any real drawbacks, the sad reality is that they grow up so fast and the next thing you know they are grown. My advice to anyone is enjoy (and record)every minute.
