Even with kids of my own, great nieces and nephews, and aging parents. When we get together for reunions, mass regression ensues.<br />The bright side? I get to throw tantrums if I really want:)<br /><br />And our youngest who is 8? Same for me. I try to hug, smother, and draw out that sweetness that is no longer present in the two teenagers, and it occurs to me. He will always be the baby too.<br /><br />Happy Birthday to Princess C.<br />xoFind Your Harmonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170122946291187224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782891856385197722.post-42075791113309685172012-01-31T06:15:19.846-08:002012-01-31T06:15:19.846-08:00It is so true that the best advice to give is to e...It is so true that the best advice to give is to enjoy our children. I think many times I get lost in the logistics of juggling the schedules and needs of four children that I forget to enjoy them. And, there is a lot<br />to enjoy. Midwives are wonderful. I was sad after each of the girls was born (I had a regular doc for the boys) because while I had these beautiful babies to love, it meant that I would not see my midwives anymore (except for yearly check ups). They were the most caring, intuitive, sage women and I feel so fortunate to have found them when I needed them most.Amy Cappellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053728413283340262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782891856385197722.post-35461322192280369882012-01-31T06:08:56.714-08:002012-01-31T06:08:56.714-08:00Our families are so similar.

I couldn't be mad at my oldest for eating 3 dozen cookies in one night (they were the bad/ 'test' cookies anyway)- but I did marvel at the fact that he didn't feel sick afterward (I added too much flour so they became brick discs). <br /><br />Your nephew is so talented. I am so happy to see a teenager pursuing and cultivating his talents. It will be such an asset when applying to college to show that he has built a portfolio of work. I look forward to watching his creative gift grow.Amy Cappellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053728413283340262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782891856385197722.post-31219482563824592902012-01-31T06:04:17.635-08:002012-01-31T06:04:17.635-08:00Ha!'They are all OLD and will remain OLDer tha...Ha!'They are all OLD and will remain OLDer than me' I'm glad to hear that being The Baby has its perks.Amy Cappellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053728413283340262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782891856385197722.post-34266033127832957292012-01-30T23:41:02.715-08:002012-01-30T23:41:02.715-08:00wow, they really are so wonderful.

My Princess Commando is sometimes so wise it hurts my heart. The 15 year old, even if he eats every morsel of left over planned for my lunch the next day, I can't quite stay mad at him.<br />PS - Chase loves your blog and your drawings and is so excited you are following him. I think you two would get along VERY well!!! -thanks! (He's the baby of his family and his Mom would love this post!)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837072219744108076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782891856385197722.post-19192214637193289562012-01-30T14:39:26.665-08:002012-01-30T14:39:26.665-08:00OMG, the first thing I thought when I saw your ope...OMG, the first thing I thought when I saw your opening photo was, "The baby grew up!" :( She's changed so much since I've been here that I feel like a neglectful aunt who missed way too many of her journeys. I am a bit tickled at how smart she is about the candle though. A friend of mine's daughter recently burned her upper lip blowing out her birthday candle because she got too close. At least "the baby" (who YES shall forever be the baby) will always be wary of that candle. :) <br /><br />As a side note, I was "the baby who was many years after the others" too, and though it bothered me a bit in my teen years to be called that, I don't mind it at all now. They are all OLD and will remain OLDer than me, which is just fine by me. <br /><br />http://www.talkativetaurus.com/Krissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912465691969392635noreply@blogger.com
