Random Thoughts

So this last week, I bought Gray the next size up in diapers (even though they are a bit big on her) and I can't believe that she is already 9 months old. She is no longer an infant and will be a year old before I know it. Diesel is starting pre-school soon and Madeline will be in Kindergarten. At times I wish my kids weren't so dependent on me and then I blink and they are so grown-up and independent. I can't imagine loving my kids more, despite the moment Maddie tricked me into putting my hand into a bowl of Diesel's pee in the tub. Or when Diesel tackles me and nearly breaks my back. Or when Gray pinches the back of my arm so hard that it nearly draws blood. I truly feel so blessed to have such wonderful children. The time flies by so quickly I hope that I am taking advantage of all moments I have with them while they still want to be with me.
