I know that I am not the only parent who thinks their child is cute, adorable, and the perfect angel-- most of the time, but it is amazing to me that all those cute memories that I once had go so quickly. Last night after dinner we had cupcakes for dessert. In our never ending food negotiations, I told Delaney that if she had three more bites of broccoli, then she could have a cupcake for "bessert". This was the cute way that she used to talk. Her "b's" and "d's" always being mixed up when she was younger and learning to talk. Instead of the reaction I was looking for with her consuming broccoli as fast as she could get it on her fork, she lectured me that the correct way to say the word was "dessert" and that she knew this because her teacher had told them in school and she was surprised a Dad didn't know this already. After I showed her the pink frosting, she did eat her broccoli.
There was a time that we were going to write down all the cute sayings that my children had when they were younger. I had visions of a fancy scrapbook with fancy writing and accompanying pictures and stories so we could look back on the good times when I was old and sitting in a rocking chair on my front porch. Instead, I was busy and time marched on and I can barely remember the cute things that Delaney used to say, let alone Andrew five years ago. I guess, all I am saying, is take the time to enjoy them and write them down so your memories are still there, even a few short months ago.
