They Grow Up Too Fast

Fast cars in this other entry.

We cleaned out a cabinet a few months ago and took baby toys out to be given to my brother’s baby daughter. It was a bittersweet moment for me and instead of thinking how fast they have grown, I decided to take photos of the toys for them to see in the days to come.

Yes, they grow up too fast. Seems like one minute they are all chubby-cheeked cuties and starting to babble and the next minute they are screaming for space.

You ask yourself, “What happened?”

“Did they grow up too soon?”

“Where did the time go?”

Enjoy the moments while these last: the hugs, the kisses, the sweet moments together, the innocent wh- questions (and not questions about getting married or discount auto insurance) that we find not just funny but endearing as well.

Speaking about time and moments, I always tell my children to value their time for time that has been lost can’t be brought back.

By the way, it is my youngest daughter‘s birthday on Wednesday and I wasted no time to order her cake in advance  :)

Children growing fast seems to be something that many Photo Hunters have noticed. Just in general, I do find myself wondering: where have the years gone? And since the saying goes that time flies while you’re having fun, guess we’ve been having lots of fun! ;b
