My oldest is about to graduate in a couple of weeks with honors and go off to college. My youngest is in 5th grade and he’s becoming more and more independent. All stages are wonderful, but sometimes I think we lose a lot of savoring the baby stage because it can be so hard (my youngest didn’t sleep through the night until he was 3 YEARS old lol) It’s great that you record the sweet moments, because in a blink of an eye they pass by and looking back is a warm feeling.

And as you mentioned, I look forward to them and don’t miss them all at the same time. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful words!

My husband does not agree. He loves a baby! My 3rd is 10 months and i have been so sad about him turning 1. We will probably add 1-2 more kids to our family (that’s the plan at least) but we are raising these 3 under 4 a little first. Normally I’m pregnant again by now. And while I’m thrilled to NOT be pregnant right now- I’m sad not to be having a number 4 so close in age to my current 3. It drives me crazy but i love how close they all are.
