So, today I was in my bathroom getting ready for the day. Kaylee was scavaging around, as usual, and Braden was sitting on the pot going "poopers." She loves the bathroom! She found a box of contacts, took one out of the package and plopped it into the toilet! I thought it over and calculated my loss and flushed it down with the "poopers."
The other day I heard this song for the first time and it brought me to tears. You can guess what paragraph I'm living.
Trace Adkins- You’re Gonna Miss This
She was staring out the window of that SUV Complaning, saying "I can't wait to turn 18" She said "I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules" Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school Then she kissed her head and said "I was just like you"
You're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast These are some good times So take a good look around You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
Before she knows it she's a brand new bride In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by He tells her "It's a nice place" She says "It'll do for now" Starts talking about babies and buying a house Daddy shakes his head and says "Baby, just slow down"
Cause you're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast These are some good times So take a good look around You may not know it now But you're gonna miss this
Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater Dog's barkin', phone's ringin' One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin' She keeps apologizin' He says "They don't bother me. I've got 2 babies of my own. One's 36, one's 23. Huh, it's hard to believe, but ...
You're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast These are some good times So take a good look around You may not know it now But you're gonna miss this"
I know that it true, but sometimes I loose perspective. I can hardly believe that my baby will turn One year old on Monday! It really does go by fast.

I like that song. that's so funny. hope you guys are doing well.
I think you just forget some of it.
How ironic is it that as soon as I finish reading this, I find Bobo has snuck into cookies and is throwing a fit that I won't let him have cookies or candy for breakfast?
I LOVE this post. I completely agree. Sometimes it is hard to remember, but I know it is true. We are gonna miss this-- contacts, "poopers" and all! We love you guys
