This post is part of the weekly Five Minute Friday series. Five minutes of free-flow writing shared with whoever wants to read it. This week’s prompt is: Forget
_____GO
We are over 10 years into this parenting journey. Our biggest, and first love just turned ten, our middle turned six, and our littlests just turned two.
Apparently, I have kids every four years. Specifically every Election and Olympics year. Not planned, obvs. During those four years, it is incredible how much I don't remember each stage. When baby toys were replaced by toddler toys, it was about time to bring out the baby toys, again. I think I haven't "put up" a single toy in the past ten years.
In between these swaps, so much was forgotten. The lack of sleep. The demands of feeding a baby. The isolation of gatherings, sequestered to a back room to nurse or put the baby down for a nap. The feeling of a baby softly breathing on your neck. The first everythings. The uncontrollable laughing fits.
However, about the time I forget, a new love comes along to remind me just how special each stage is.
STOP.
