I love how regardless of your children’s ages, you still spend 200 bucks at the Aquarium.

This is sort of like the post I wrote last year about realizing we had gone to our last mama/baby yoga class: sometimes you don’t know you’ve walked through a door for the last time until it’s closed and locked behind you. I want to forward this post to Maikael, who is always lamenting this physically exhausting toddler days and longing for the stage you’re at right now. It never gets easier; it just changes, doesn’t it?

So here’s the real kicker in all of this – for those of us lucky enough to still have our own parents: they are STILL asking themselves these questions!!! I can sense when my mom wants to ask me a question but isn’t sure it’s any of her business. Usually I try to tell her things before we get to that point, but it’s just the continuing dance around the free flow of information. As one as it’s all done out of love, and not any need for control (which is pretty much an illusion from the moment of birth anyway), it all goes well.

I feel such a bittersweetness in reading this post, Em.
