@uglysweater, I can relate to your wonderful poem. My wife and I have 5 kiddos. It is so sweet to remember the infant and toddler years (minus the sleepless nights).
But I also long to see their adult version. I am curious to see how the time and effort we have invested today will impact their future.
We must enjoy every moment, and we must train and prepare them for the lives that we will be blessed to watch them live.
I completely agree with you! These years are so sweet, and as much as I'll miss them small, I'm excited about who they will be become!
