I am reminded nearly everyday how fast my kiddos are growing.  This past weekend we went to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt.  I am reminded of how the first year we went to an Easter egg hunt I had to follow him around and help him put eggs in his basket.  Last year he was much better but then I had to follow Zoë around and put eggs in her basket and shield her from the Easter Bunny.  This year was totally different.  Zoë stalked the Easter Bunny and when it was time to get eggs–both my kids were off like a shot and filled their baskets.  Zoë even help little kids put eggs into their baskets because hers was full.  It was an awesome day but also a little bittersweet.  They are growing so fast and I’m not really sure that I like that.  Is there a way to stop that?

Noah got a new bike for his birthday and he rode it almost a mile yesterday.  My little boy who just last fall got tired riding it a few blocks.  Now–he’s all energy and boy.

It really makes me realize these are such moments to cherish as they will need me less and less as time flies on whether I want it to or not.  This is part of parenting that I just not a big fan of.
