My rosy posy is 12 today. She shaved her legs. That is a right to passage at age 12 in our home. Somehow, she seems so much younger than the older two did at 12. Is it just that I am realizing that they are all growing up so fast and my time as a full time mommy will be over sooner than I ever realized? Perhaps. I think about the days when they all were young, it was hard having 4 small children, now they are all independent for the most part and I miss those days of snuggling and reading aloud. We still snuggle and read aloud but for different reasons. We read aloud because we need to read this history book for school. We snuggle because time is almost up. When they are little you read to encourage their love for learning and you snuggle because they want their mommy. I will have to finish this post later, got to take that baby skiing.
