Let Them Be Little...

Everyone will tell you, "treasure each moment... they grow up too fast" and until you have a few years under your belt you just can't appreciate how fast it really goes.

Today, the triplets started Kindergarten.  Today, my life as I have known it for the last 6 years is changed.  I have had these little bodies with me almost everyday all day (except the 11 hours a week they were in pre-school) and now... they are gone 7 1/2 hours Monday through Friday.  We get home now about 3:30, change clothes and before long it's bedtime.

Up until now, the kids have gone to bed between 8:30 and 9:00... now we are planning to start 7:30 and may need to adjust it back to 7:00....

For the next 2 weeks, Cody is going to live the life of a single child until his pre-school starts, then he will be gone MWF mornings, but he will still get a lot more alone time with Mom.

Wow, this is just such a milestone that seemed a million years away when they were born.  I am sad and I am happy...  torn up with mixed feelings.  But more than anything... I am so PROUD!!!

They loved their 1st day (I was so anxious to pick them up).  Addison has made new friends, Jadon said he was too shy and Kaylee didn't share much other than she liked it... but they all agree they are ready to return tomorrow.

One of my favorite songs!!!!

Song: Let Them Be Little
Album: Let Them Be Little

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand.
You felt so good in it; no bigger than a minute.
How it amazes me you're changin' with every blink.
Faster than a flower blooms, they grow up all too soon. 

So let them be little,
'Cause they're only that way for a while.
Give 'em hope, give them praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let 'em sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little. 

I never felt so much in one little tender touch.
I live for those kisses, your prayers an' your wishes.
An' now you're teachin' me how only a child can see.
Tonight, while we're on our knees, all I ask is: 

Please, let them be little,
'Cause they're only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give them praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let 'em sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little. 

The so innocent, precious soul:
You turn around, an' it's time to let them go. 

So let them be little,
'Cause they're only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give 'em praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let them sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little. 

Let them be little.
