Reality Is Setting In
Mallory learned how to ride her two wheeler today. Crazy enough Rachel will probably not be far behind her!
Reality is starting to set in that my kids are growing up. I feel like I'm saying "this is our last baby to...." Or "pretty soon we won't have any more kids doing..."
Rachel has been in big girl panties for two weeks now. So I would think, I can officially say we have potty trained ALL five children and we are no longer doing diapers. Wow! This year I only have two at home all day. Next year Mallory will be off to school all day and I will only have one baby left at home. As quickly as one baby at home came it will also go. And next year will be Dalton's last year in Elementary school!
I struggle with being content in this season of my life. When the kids are young, throwing lots of fits, diapers, crying, sleepless nights etc... Soon it will be all gone(for the most part). Reality is setting in that it will very soon.

No time for sadness....the next stage of childhood will bring new challenges and many new and fun experiences. Don't look back, look forward! The special times that come with children being able to do for themselves and communicate with you on a whole different level are great. These times coming up are the times they love to share and do with parents the most!!!
AND MALLORY!!!! GREAT RIDING! I can't wait until you and I can ride bikes together! Remember when Grandma would take you and Jack in the cart behind the bike? Now we can ride together!!! Yeah!
Great advice Aunt Onie!
