I don't know about you all, but I can't seem to read this book without forcing back tears.  Just the thought of the kids growing up and leaving makes me sad. I guess it's selfish, but I wish they could stay little.  You moms out there who are in the midst of diapers, messes, no-sleep, and all ...listen carefully...time passes so quickly. Enjoy every moment.  Start a journal now .   Soon they will be teenagers and then you will look at pictures of them as toddlers and long for those days...   Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying all the teenage stuff, but reading this book makes me miss the baby stuff.  Now my youngest is 5 years old already.   The oldest is 19.  If you want to get all mushy, read this book!!!!!!!
