I ask myself this question often it seems like. For instance, I can remember everyone always telling me in high school to enjoy the time, because it only goes faster from there. Again in college this would be repeated to me, after we were married, and then again after we had Mallory, and Jaclyn both. I can remember thinking to myself I don't understand how it can go any faster, it is flying already. Well it does somehow continue to go faster, and I'm sitting here now looking at my almost 4 year old, and my little one who will be 2 on Friday. Holy cow! Where does it go? I've been married to the love of my life for a little over 6 years already, and we continue to learn, and grow together everyday, but gone are the days where there is "nothing" to do. There's always something keeping our schedule full, (which we're thankful for), but a little break from time is nice I will say.
With all that being said I also find myself from time to time wanting/wishing time to move forward, (I think we all do this from time to time without even realizing it), but here's why both Derek and I have been lately. Don't get me wrong I do my best to appreciate and absorb all of my precious time with my babies as I know they will not be small for long. But we have entered to "stage" of drama with Mallory, and boy is it hard sometimes to not "wish" this time/stage away to a time where she has learned and understands not to throw a tantrum, or stomp her feet, or just cry in general. I know it's a phase, and that 99% of kids go through this phase, but it sure is frustrating sometimes feeling like you're talking to a brick wall and nothing is sinking in. Then some days it's amazing that is all seems to click. We'll get there I'm confidant with that, it's just the little bumps on the road can be trying sometimes that is for sure. In the meantime we both try to not wish away this time as they are growing so very fast and I still can't believe or wrap my head around the idea that they will be 2, and 4 in under a month!!!!
