With my daughter’s birthday coming up, I am always sentimental about all of the past joys and milestones that we have experienced, yet very excited for the future and what lies ahead in her young life. I feel so blessed to be a Mom, her Mom, and be able to journey with her as she grows, learns, and discovers this world we live in. I am excited for all of the new skills and abilities she is going to develop, and how her little personality will continue to show. One of my favorite things to do is to look back at pictures from previous years to see how she has changed so much in such a little time, and am always amazed how this happens right before our eyes.
A few months ago, I asked my sister-in-law what her favorite age is with her kids, and she replied, “Whatever age they are in!” I loved this, especially because we catch ourselves saying, “I can’t wait until she can do this. It will be so fun when we can do this as a family.” This is a perfect reminder for us to enjoy the moment our kids are in, celebrate as they grow and change, and one day, look back and know that each age was the perfect age!
