I have two small boys and another baby on the way. I tell myself daily I need to slow down and cherish each and every day before these precious moments fade away.

I think it's so easy to get caught up in those kinds of things and miss out on the really important parts, big and little, that make up our lives. Your poor little fella! Lucky to have his mom right there to console him!! Your older son is so cute in his uniform!! I die at the football field every night beholding all the cuteness - even though I've been forbidden from saying the FB players are "cute" :) And your daughter's hair - it's just lovely - she is so pretty! Enjoy their ages…I know you do!Lisa @ Shine Your Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07301618725406172528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128318301936521443.post-10161939550670584842012-09-12T22:27:14.315-04:002012-09-12T22:27:14.315-04:00Oh man Andrea, you have me in tears over here. The...Oh man Andrea, you have me in tears over here. These raw, tell it all posts are so so good and really the human behind the writing which I love about blogging - I don't do it enough. I only have 1 child and I need to remind myself that it's okay not to get everything done that day. Some things can wait and wait and wait - they're not important. What is important are those hugs, and the smiles, and the tears - those are the things that will forever stick in our minds as memories. I often think about when I will need to handle a moment of true sadness with our daughter - and of course you don't want to have to think about that stuff but we're human and that's part of our makeup is taking the good with the bad. I want to hug your little man. Have a good night my friend.Holly Gruszkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562245870313515897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128318301936521443.post-24388882129299874172012-09-12T21:16:08.201-04:002012-09-12T21:16:08.201-04:00What a sweet post!

That's definitely why you are sharing more and more with your kids and noticing how they are growing up so fast. I try to live in the moment, even if it means I have a few dust bunnies or a pile of laundry to fold! You will get used to it and love it!<br /><br />XO,<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128318301936521443.post-51114274071737295202012-09-12T19:30:01.085-04:002012-09-12T19:30:01.085-04:00My 5 year old baby acts like a tough guy too, but ...My 5 year old baby acts like a tough guy too, but he's a little mushy on the inside still. :)<br /><br />My daughter is in 4th grade this year and still won't let me touch her hair. Such a bummer! it's down to her butt and she won't let me do anything but ponytail or "ONE braid"<br /><br />sigh. The time is flying, I know it. Seems like just yesterday my baby was potty training.

Believe me, time passes so quickly with our children, in a blink of an eye they are thinking about where to go for college, so treasure every minute. Make sure to have some time to fuel you own tank doing what you love because that is important too.

I was in my 30s before I learned how to let it be and enjoy it. My 12 year old would love to have curly hair but doesn't.

Lucky girl! :) Glad you are taking time to slow down and listening to your doctor, it's hard for us moms to get everything done that needs to get done on top of things we "want" to get done.
