I have tears in my eyes reading all of these post realizing that my kids are going to get bigger and bigger. My ds is 9 and he will still give me a hug but kisses from mom are gross. Ds6 still wants me to tuck him in bed at night and i will until he no longer wants me to because i know that will come to an end soon!
Thanks for all the great posts!!

When my DD gets up in the middle of the night to go potty by herself. Then she goes right back to bed.

For my 'baby' Brother-When he gto maced last week as part of his Coast Guard training.
And he is a qualified sharp shooter.

She prints out all the DMV rules regarding getting a learner's permit along with names of local driving schools and reminds you it's just a few months away.

. . . I'm stealing my old songs from DS because he likes Aerosmith, Zeppelin, ELO, CCR, etc! Who would've thought???

. . . I'm wishing DS was starting first grade in September rather than first year in college!

I think I have you all beat...

When your GRANDSON is a United States Marine PFC slated to go to Iraq!

The two oldest days of my life were when I found out I was going to be a grandfather and when that grandson joined the Marines.

Life sure goes by fast!
