ENJOY THEM NOW BECAUSE THEY WILL BE GONE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT

There he is ...my BABY boy.. so sweet, so loving...I found some old movies the other day that we watched and he was 3 - his brother about 8 months- and his little VOICE... oh my lord- it took every ounce of power i could muster not to blubber on and on about- WHERE DID MY BABIES GO??? how did they get old SO fast
This is something older women have said to me all the time- in passing..Commenting on how cute they are/were.. and they always would sigh and say- enjoy 'em now because they be grown before you know it.
And man if that aint the truth..
But what I am trying to do (its almost impossible) is enjoy them NOW? why do I look behind me all the time- missing this time or that- or this stage or time..
I need to try to LIVE IN THE MOMENT....
but why is that so hard for me to do????
will I always struggle with this, or, is it simply, that that time- that precious time when your children are babies/toddlers..is one of the most precious times ever? before they can really argue with you- complain- disagree...
im not sure- reagrdless- I LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF THEM.... they are the best things that have ever happened to me and I feel sort of like in a mid life crissis now- at each stage- as they need me less and less
