Where Did The Time Go? Embrace Every Moment With Your Children

I remember being pregnant for the first time and time seemed to take forever until I met that gorgeous baby for the first time. The first year flew by in a flash of struggling to breastfeed, sleepless nights, nappies and worries. But all of that was made worthwhile when you looked down at that little bundle of joy in your arms, embrace every moment. By the time Lucas just turned two, I was giving birth to Tyler. I’d just gone from getting the hang of one to two. This was a huge leap. Where did the time go?

Just look at those little cuties. Nothing prepares you for the overwhelming love you feel when you hold your baby in your arms. It really is the most precious of moments.

I loved those precious years together. I had to work, I felt the guilt, especially leaving my child breaking his heart with his Grandparents. Many a drive to work after dropping off Lucas I broke my heart all the way to work. But, I did what was best for us and what I had to. Plus they all have a wonderful relationship with their Grandparents. When I’m with them, it make the most of my time with them.

Time passed so quickly and here we are with two boys at school. It really does and everyone should embrace every moment with their children. Get muddy, get messy, play, laugh, cry, spin around, sit, talk, play and enjoy it all. The housework, the washing, it can all wait. It’ll still be around when the kids are in bed.

Here’s the sweetest video ever by Fairy, I guarantee there won’t be a dry eye in the house. Fairy Non Bio listened to other mums and found that their children’s pre-school years were some of their most treasured memories. 25% of mums confessed to missing their child’s super soft kisses and cuddles, 43% said it was their child and 28% said it was the constant background noise after they start school. Fairy wants to remind us to give our kids an extra big hug today.

Hold on to those moments of pre-school, because they go past far too quickly. I miss them now they are at school, I want to go back to those moments, snuggling, cuddling laughing and just enjoying each other’s company. And then they go to school. Don’t get me wrong we still cuddle, all the time, but I miss those moments. Which is a whole other story?
