Cherish the fleeting moments of childhood from "summary" of Beautiful Babies by Kristen Michaelis
As parents, we are often caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. We are constantly rushing from one task to the next, trying to keep up with our never-ending to-do lists. In the midst of this chaos, it is easy to overlook the simple joys of childhood. Children grow up so fast, it seems as if one moment they are tiny babies in our arms, and the next they are running around the house, exploring the world around them. It is important to slow down and savor these precious moments, for they are fleeting and will soon be nothing but memories. In the blink of an eye, our children will be all grown up, no longer needing us to tuck them in at night or kiss their boo-boos better. They will be off on their own adventures, making their own way in the world. So let us cherish the time we have with our little ones, for soon they will be too big to fit in our laps or hold our hands. Let us take the time to really see them, to listen to their stories and watch them as they discover the wonders of the world. Let us create memories that will last a lifetime, so that when our children are grown, they will look back on their childhood with fondness and love. Let us remember that childhood is a precious gift, one that should be treasured and celebrated. So let us put aside our worries and fears, and instead focus on the joy and wonder that our children bring into our lives. Let us be present in the moment, fully engaged with our little ones, so that when they are grown, we can look back with no regrets, knowing that we truly cherished the fleeting moments of childhood.
