Truly Sad

I hinted on my last post how hard a time I am having dealing with BB and DQ moving up in the world. I have also mentioned in the past my hate love of change. Well, I'm confessing that my heart is breaking. First of all, I have to miss BB's last field day this week. I am soooo incredibly sad. Second of all, MIDDLE SCHOOL!! I just cannot believe my sweet baby boy is going there to that big bad place. I remember my first day so clearly. The kids were so big, and grown up, and "wise" beyond their years. Thirdly, this next year DQ will be a 5th grader and that will be it. That will be all I have left of elementary school. The tears are running down my cheeks right now as I type.
To my two angels, I love you so much. I miss our endless days of snacks, naps, cartoons, play dates, and picnics with strawberries and chicken fingers. I miss field trips to the pumpkin patches and petting zoos. I miss holding your hands every time we step out of the house. I miss washing koolaide mustaches off your faces. I miss falling into bed exhausted every night, only to be awoken with a sweet whisper in my ear that you heard a noise.
I know you are still my babies, that you will always be my babies. Please slow down. Don't grow up so fast. There is plenty of time for you to be a big kid, just be little for a little while longer!
This summer we will find some fun to be had. We will play, and travel, and sleep, and eat, and I'm sure we will watch our fair share of cartoons. I will work, and I will want to choke you for being so loud while I'm trying to sleep. Know that I love every second of my life that I have with you in it!
