time escapes me. time is, as they say, fleeting.
olivia hasn't been a baby for a long time. she is 6 & will be 7 in a little over 2 months. 7. how can that be? she is incredibly smart & loves school. olivia is becoming more & more self-sufficient. i feel like she needs me less & less. i know that is exactly what is supposed to happen, but it still stings. she said "you don't have to do everything for me" - that really sucks to hear from my baby, because there was a time when i did.
rachel isn't a baby anymore either. she is almost 3 1/2. last year, i could look at her & still see baby. now i see a little girl. no baby at all. she talks my ear off now. she loves to help her dad do anything & everything; she is very much a daddy's girl if ever there was one. rachel is growing & learning so much. she is changing every day. she tells me "i love you sooooo much, mama" & melts my heart.

these days, the sweetest sounds i have ever heard come from their room daily. olivia reads to rachel. BEST.THING.I.HAVE.EVER.HEARD.OR.SEEN. all the giggles that come when they have read the shenanigans that sponge-bob or the cat in the hat has gotten into, music to my ears.
i have 2 beautiful growing girls. i am beyond blessed. i just wish i could slow time down a little.
