Obey Thy Mother: Stop Growing!

Maybe just a little rambling tonight ... :) .....

My body feels like it needs to rest for at least 1 solid week. Steam cleaning your carpets will do that to you, though. Mostly done, just waiting until I can see the carpet in the kids' rooms which may be burried at depths of 2' or more.
Trying to get the house tidied up before my baby's birthday sleepover party.Yes, I said my BABY. My little sweat-pea, pumpky, my Laner Bear. In her innocence, she likes to call me grandma (b/c she's the Mom to her babydolls) and then tells me how when I get old and turn into a real grandma, then I'm going to die. lol., That's it?!? I thought I was supposed to have some fun if I'm a grandmother so she better not try to kill me off before I feel I am finished, lol. She's turning 4... did I mention that? On Sunday, June 6th. My youngest, my baby :( I don't know how many times I told her to STOP growing, but she just hasn't listened.

I'm so afraid I'm going to be too busy to take the time to watch and play and remember exactly what things were like when my kids are this young. I've already forgotten some of the memories from Addison at this age.

Growth must continue, and change does not mean bad... So I welcome the next chapter from my children and hope it's even more wonderful than the previous years, (but that will be a tough one to beat) . 
I just hope that I'm doing my job well in regards to teaching them. I feel like keeping a child safe and teaching him/her how to become an honorable, righteous man/woman are one's most important role in parenting.
