He's a little man!

Oh, where does the time go? I guess other mom's are right...it feels like just yesterday that he was still nursing and now we are on the verge of potty training! 

I was eating lunch with a friend of mine, whose daughter is about the same age. It was her birthday and we were venting over our common ailment, stress of mommyhood. The kiddos were both just getting over a cold that left them both cranky and clingy, and we were about to pull our hair out, as both are kids were tired, ready for naptime and about to throw tantrums. A lady stops by our table, she says "I just have to tell you, you guys look so cute over here with your babies, I was just admiring you, they are so sweet!" My friend and I looked at each other, I knew she was thinking what I was thinking, you can't mean us right, cuz we are about ready to scream!

The lady said "It seems like just yesterday, my baby was that little, now she's 11!" We smiled at her, and then out from that ladies mouth, spoke the most perfect thing, I don't think I will ever forget, it was just what we needed. She said "when I was a young mom and stressed out, another woman told me 'the days are long but the years are short'."

And that lady left us shortly after that.

The days are long, but the years are short!

awwww. Thank you for that, strange lady! I really needed that. Now I say that to myself, whenever I think I cannot go on! Hope you enjoy too!
