[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for this post.  My kids are 2.75 and 9 months and I'm already feeling the time slipping away.  I simultaneously wish my older child would stop having so many tantrums and don't want her to stop being a cute little nugget.  I wish my baby would sleep and nurse better and I can't wait until he starts talking so I can get to know him, but I also want him to go back to sleeping on my chest.  I'm so exhausted that I'm always trying to get through it, but I hate myself for wishing the time away.  I have been making a conscious effort to be more present and your post is a good reminder that it will be over before I know it.[/quote]

My DD is near 2 and while I'm constantly exhausted, every day I feel a simultaneous pang of excitement and sadness at how much she has changed. I look forward to seeing what the next day/month/year will bring, but miss how she was yesterday/last month/last year.  I miss when she was that little blob that lay against my chest sleeping for hours a day yet can't wait for her to really start talking and telling me how awesome preschool is.  I already miss the child she is today and can't imagine how much my I will miss this ten years from now or even more, when she's 18 and flown the coop.  Oh man, now I'm starting to cry![/quote]
