As a Mom you spend so much time building the perfect home, keeping them warm, feeding them and suddenly out of nowhere the day is here ... it's time to fly.


My Little Man's last day of kindergarten, my Dearest Daughter's last day of first grade and Mrs. Robin's day to teach her 4 children to fly. It was a wonderful sight to see all the children excited - everyone had a little extra incentive to gobble down breakfast, stand on the front step in anticipation and spread their wings towards their future.


Fly babies - FLY!





PS - And as far as Bruno is concerned ... well there just are those times when a Mom has to ignore those bad habits in order for them to correct themselves. The chasing from room to room, yelling, swinging your arms in the air in anger just doesn't work so we began to ignore him. In fact, we have been ignoring him for so long now either we no longer hear him at 5am or he has finally decided the daily ariel assault of his 'spitting image' on our front porch is pointless. I believe Bruno has found another house to attack far, far away!
Shamelessly lifted from a email sent to me and shared with you
becasue I understand and support you.
Before I was a Mom -
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom -
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom -
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom.
