Aaaaah the feels; realizing your kids are growing up and you’ll never get these moments again 😭😭
I read something profound awhile back:
(You may have written this, so I apologize if I don’t credit it to you 😂)
As a parent, there are things you’ll do for the last time with your kids, and you won’t realize it in the moment, and often won’t realize it til much further down the road. Some examples:
-Carrying your kid
-Letting them win at a game
-Being able to beat them in a sport (soccer, foot race, etc.)
-Them sneaking into your bed in the middle of the night/them sleeping with you because they’re sick
-Playing pretend with them
-You checking on them in the middle of the night, just to make sure they’re breathing (I’m sure I’m not the only one who did this til their kid was practically a teenager? 🤔😬)
And so on.
Ah, the joys of parenting! The best, most fulfilling, and most terrifying thing that can happen in your life 🥹

YES YES YES to all of this. I did not write that, or at least not that exactly, but I agree with all of it.
