Time flies....

Have you ever noticed how truly fast time flies? I have in just one day saved a spot for Danica to go to school next year. Yes, she is old enough to go to preschool. It was one week ago today that I picked up our local newspaper and saw the ad for preschool enrollment for the 2011-2012 school year. As lame as it may seem, I teared up, now I didn't all out ball like a baby, I just got a little sad. It seems like I was just craddling our little Danica in my arms and now I am going to be getting her all dressed up for her very first day of preschool. I have plenty of time to prepare and to find just the right dress. Yes, find just the right dress, Danica, unlike her mother, is not interested in wearing any pants, only dresses and skirts. However, just like her mother to heck with the tights. So I am now faced with a 2 1/2 year old that cares about what she wears, tells me what she wants to wear, won't you use her adorable hooded "baby" towels anymore and is going to start school. What the heck happened?
And, if her growing up isn't enough Jasper is saying more and more words everyday, most have everything to do with food or eating in general and he is officially walking everywhere!
So, I guess time doesn't stand still eventhough sometimes it might feel like it is. We are cherishing all the little moments and trying to capture them and bottle them up.
Here is a video of Danica singing a line from "Jack and the Beanstalk" a favorite fairy tale for now.
The world is blessed with 2 pretty special kiddos in Danica and Jasper!
