Not So Long Ago.....

Not so long ago I had my first child in a baby bucket style car seat and said " When will he be out of this thing? It's too heavy."
Not so long ago I had my first baby in a big car seat and said " This thing takes up so much room in the car; how long until he gets out of this clunky car seat?"
Not so long ago I celebrated with my bigger boy when he moved into the booster car seat " Yippee, not so hard to take on trips. Look how you have grown!"
This weekend my biggest boy got to take his booster out of the van and sit without a car seat and I said "Where did my little baby boy go? Why did the last eight years speed by so quickly?" and I told him he looked so big sitting without his booster, but really I just wanted him back in that heavy old baby bucket and it was really hard to celebrate.
love and hugs and enjoy them while they are little because it does go too fast, B
