It Won't Be Like This For Long

As Aaron pointed to Reid earlier this morning, he looked at me and asked, "Can't we push fast-forward a bit?" He says this because the past few days our littlest sweetheart has been a little colicky and we have found ourselves quite frustrated at times. But soon after he asked this, I thought of the lyrics to the song It Won't Be Like This For Long, by Darius Rucker.

As hard as many days from the past few weeks have been, I know these words are true. In the blink of an eye, our baby boys won't be babies anymore. They'll be boys! Big boys! Teenage boys! Yikes!

I'm still struggling with many of the things I talked about in an earlier post titled The Truth? I truly appreciate the encouraging words left by some of you. I've read them all more than once because they provide me with these few reminders:

A) God is in control...Not me!
B) I'm not the only one who has ever struggled as a mother.
C) It's OK if my days don't go as I planned...and they probably won't (See A).
D) This too shall pass!

I can't believe he'll be 2 next month!!

Haley-Scott and I have thought the same thing a few times lately with Malorie. But, we made it through with McKenna and you did with Landon, so we know it only gets better! Hang in there. :-)
