The greatest thing about springtime is that everything around you feels new and refreshed. That goes for me personally as well. I know that spring is not officially here... but as soon as March roles around...I'm fully on board and ready to call it SPRING. We've had a lot of rain, so right now, all that I've got sprouting up is a bunch of weeds, but I can see the leaf blooms on my trees starting to open up to new leaves. I love it. I should really plant some tulips. Even if it's just in a pot. I love tulips and nothing says "springtime" more than tulips.
I took a few minutes this morning to look through some old pictures of Sean. (I say "old" but we're only talking 12mo., 18 mo., or 2yrs ago) It's amazing to see the change in him since even this time last year. He's such a different child. There's nearly no resemblance of that baby... he looks like such a little boy. I feel like he's so much older than he is. How did we get here so fast?
It really doesn't matter how we got here, or how fast time seems to be flying by, because it will always feel this way. My mother used to say it to me all the time..."seems like you were a little girl just yesterday.." Now I know how she felt.
A friend of mine said to me when Sean was first born, "every couple months you'll swear that THIS is your favorite age... until a month or so passes and then you say... no THIS is my favorite age...." It's so true. I love it all. I'm loving every step of the way. I loved playing in the sprinklers last summer, I love carving pumpkins in the fall, and I love looking forward to lots of play days in the spring at the park.
