It's hit me especially hard the past few weeks that my kids are getting big. I mean, big, big. Growing up big. They are sprouting like weeds, and ALL of them look so much older lately. So much older. NONE of them look like babies anymore. Not one. And then there are rites of passage like graduations that slap me upside the head and really make me take notice.This sweet child is going begin kindergarten in a few short months. My twins are supposed to go in just over a year. How did that happen? Someone send me a time stopper, please.

My hubby is a party pooper, so I only have a "picture this" where you have to use your imagination. But it's still a fun post anyway. lol

So sweet! He is adorable. I bet it is hard to see the kiddos grow up. But, thank gosh there are many, many, more years to come :o)
Mine is @ http://www.ordinaryandawesome.com/search/label/WW
Oh I'm such a mush at preschool graduations! He looks so cute! My daughter is moving on to 1st grade in the fall and I'm still in shock and denial how big she is getting!
My WW is :

Aww, he looks so grown up in his cap and gown!
My WW post
Oh gosh, it goes sooooo fast. Too fast. Look at that sweet face in a cap and gown. Don't blink, momma!
Here's my WW post, since Mr Linky seems to be drunk or something...
http://www.crazyadventuresinparenting.com/2009/05/cooking-with-kids.html
I am so not ready for any of this growing up stuff...not with ANY of my kids.
Tell that boy of yours to stop getting bigger. Growing up before our eyes is not allowed!
I know what you mean! Where have my little kids gone?? My baby turned 4 this week!
Here's my post.
I love this photo! I never got a graduation like that... I feel a little bit left out :(

They do grow up way too fast! I'm glad I spread my 6 out over 20 years. Your little guy is adorable!!!

It has been hitting me hard lately as well! They just grow too fast. Feels like yesterday that my Oldest was in my arms cooing and now we just finished 1st grade. Cute pictures.

So cute! Time does fly by... but I am a firm believer that there is a reason for that. ;-)
I have a daughter moving up to 1st grade I can't be she is going to be in school a full day schedule. How cute they have cap n gowns I bet he's excited about kindergarten.
happy WW
It is a little sad to see your babies grow up. I don't think it is really going to hit me until my youngest gets to kinder. Who, by the way is quite the character as evident in my Wordful Wednesday.
http://mamaswithdrama.blogspot.com/2009/05/lady-dis-wordful-wednesday.html
Awww, he looks so proud.
If you find that magical time-stopping button let me know, would ya?

Wow, time does fly! When my toddler and I are out and we run into a mom with a child who is one year older than my daughter, I think gosh, that will be my little girl before I know it!
My Wordful Wednesday is up today. I tried to describe a photo in words (what my personal business card would look like)!

My son just finished his first year of kindergarten and I just said someone needs to stop time. Seriously where does the time go.
www.juggling-mama.blogspot.com
What a cute little cap and gown!! My daughter is about to graduate from Kindergarten :O It seems like all of a sudden, there "Big Kids". Luckily I still have 2 more years until my son starts Preschool. He's my baby for a little longer.
Happy WW: http://sahmilitarywife.blogspot.com/2009/05/wordless-wednesday-cleandirty.html

Looking for Mr. Linky, hope he returns soon!! I wrote a Wordful Wednesday this morning on my son's first t-ball game last night! HILARIOUS!!!!

How ADORABLE is he in his cap and gown?! Princess Nagger's last day of Kindergarten is next week - she's all excited about a 'big program' they're putting on for us parents...seems like just yesterday she was a cute little blob of a baby - time flies by way too fast!! :)

Oh how cute!! This is my first blog game http://jenniferortolano32.blogspot.com/
Adorable. Time flies doesn't it? I can't believe how quickly the two years since I've had my son have gone by. I know you feel it every time one of your children has a birthday. Amazing isn't it? Time stops for no one.
If I had one, I'd send it over...after using it myself! :)

Enjoy,
Oh, sooooo cute!!! Our graduations are this week. Sniff, sniff.
Urgh. I hear ya. I keep telling mine I'm going to be putting boulders on their heads so they will stop growing.
how sweet! love a cap & gown on a little kids :-)
here's my WW:
http://www.aprilslittlefamily.com/2009/05/all-by-himself.html
Oh! So Cute!
Yes before you know it they'll be heading out the door to college!
My WW post is when my daughter was 9 - she's 13 now, I remember taking the pictures as if it were yesterday. Time flies!
http://www.threedifferentdirections.com/2009/05/wordlesswordful-wednesday.html
So sweet! They grow too fast.
What a cutie! Seriously though....it's heartbreaking, to me anyway, that they grow up SO fast. Have you ever seen CLICK with Adam Sandler? I'd love to have a remote like that just so I could rewind and watch over and over some precious life moments gone by...
All too soon that will be a college gown he is wearing...
Here is my WW!
So sweet!!
They grow up s fast. It makes you so sad!
When you find one of those time stoppers, send it my way okay??
and I SO wish I could go to Vegas for the Sitscation. :( But I can't.
Oh Seriously SWEET photos of your son...they do grow so quickly! I'm finding that out as well...
http://www.myitwins.com/2009/05/27/wordlessful-wednesday-4/
Awww! He's so sweet! Love the pics!
Here's my link:
http://momsmutterings.blogspot.com/2009/05/jump.html
I feel the same way. And it'll be worse when my last kids are heading to your kids ages.
I dunno why, I can't do anything about it, I knew this was going to happen.
I'm not sure if it's cause I'll miss them once their at school. Or the loss of me being the one that spends most of the time with them is gone or what.
Masaru starts next year.
Oh wow - congratulations to the graduant. Here's mine: http://juggelingactoflife.blogspot.com/2009/05/way-back-and-wordful-whensday_27.html
Mine feels like that already and he's not even 2. But, boy, is he handsome!
What a cute graduate! Definitely not a baby anymore...

What a handsome young lad.
i wish i could figure out a way to stop time...i so wish i could. your son is such an adorable little guy!

I'm right there with ya! I can't believe that I am going to have 2 kids in school in a few months.....
My baby better stay a baby for a LONG time!
Here is a picture of my own "soon to be kindergartener"! Happy Wednesday!
http://www.holdituptothelight.com/2009/05/wordful-wednesday.html
Oh so precious!!!! When we first had Ryder we were told a million times over - enjoy it right now they grow up too fast. We were tired of hearing it - but now we realize what everyone was saying. It is so true. Then again, when the Twinkies can communicate better, that will be so delightful. lol
http://chroniclesofamommy.blogspot.com/2009/05/where-i-want-to-be.html
Aww..the first years of school do seem to jump up on you, and then fly by so quickly. I have more than one going to kindergarten in August, and it is taking forever to get here, but I know it is going to go by very fast once it starts..and before you know it, you will be complaining about them driving :)
http://3schools.blogspot.com/2009/05/wordless-wordful-wednesday-princess.html
Oh what a sweetie! Time just seems to be gaining momentum and passing more quickly each day - if you ever come across a time stopper you will have an endless market with the mom crowd! ;)
http://problemsolvinmom.blogspot.com/2009/05/adventures-under-sea.html
Congratulations to your little graduate! Those are such sweet photos--I can't imagine what it will be like when my girl's reach that age.
Time goes by so fast. I always tell my 2 and 3 year old that I don't want them to grow up--I want them to be this age forever! It is the sweetest time.
Awe! SOOOOOO cute all grown up!
It is so bittersweet to watch them grow. Congrats on the graduation!
♥ He's so cute! I totally understand ya! My twins are going to start kindergarten this fall and then Liv the next it's crazy how fast it goes by!
Mine too! It goes so fast:-)
I couldn't agree with you more. Time flies. I got one that will start kindergarten too this fall and my babies are going to be 2. Who said that could happen?
Oh that boy of your is the cutest EVER! Hope he has a fabulous time in the big K!!!
Sooo cute! Yes... time keeps marching on!
Angie, NO WAY that the boys will be starting Kindergarten that soon!!!!!!!! They are only a yr older than my boys. Oh yeah. They will be starting Kindergarten in 2 yrs. YIKES!
I am feeling the same way. Not liking it at all. Though i will be able to get the entire house cleaned while they are at school so we can play more. I still miss them so much when they are gone all day!
Aww, he looks so happy! I know what you mean about the time! I will now have TWO kids in full time school next year! Flying by.
Enjoy it all!!
http://fraasefamily.blogspot.com/2009/05/wordlesswordful-wednesday-laundry.html
He looks so cute!! When you find the stopper could you please send it my way. My baby is growing up way to fast, and I am not sure what I will do when she starts kindergarten. The other 2 are growing faster than I would like too. Now I know what my mother meant when she told me that time flies, and before you know it, your kids will be grown up and gone...I can really see that ahead now, and it scares me!!
Aw, your kids are still tiny things. Imagine what it's like for me. i've got one going into 3rd grade and another 7th!
Justine :o )
Aw congrats to him! He looks great in his little cap and gown!
Congratulations to your little one! They grow up way too fast, don't they?
I agree. Time is flying. I always feel like there is so much I want to do with the kiddo's...can't fit it all in!
Cute, cute, cute! We have preschool graduation tomorrow night - I'd better bring a box of tissues! :O
OMGoodness Garrett looks SO adorable in his cap & gown. I know the feeling. We just signed the girls up for preschool two hours a day two days a week next fall. Mommy is not ready for that 'sniff 'sniff.
Cute! scary how fast they grow up, isn't it?!?!?!?
how fun that he gets to wear a cap and gown! cute!
I totally know how you feel! Garrett looks so proud of himself in those pictures:)
My oldest is going to be in High School next year. I swear it was just yesterday when she was done with preschool!!
Totally cute pic of your big boy!
wow. A real cap and gown. Your preschool is posh. He's one handsome devil.
I can't believe that the twins are going to start school in just a year! Where has the time gone?!
too cute!! they grow up so fast, dont they?? ;)
know exactly what you are talking about I posted a graduation picture of my own
I feel the same way and it makes me so sad. I've started wishing for a 4th, just to get that sweet baby smell fix again, but I see from your post that the baby craving never stops, even after the 4th! And shopping for shoes today with my 3 totally put me over the edge, hard to imagine throwing another person in the mix!
Oh wow! How adorable!!!!
Kids growing up = heartbreaking
I'm with you. I have NO idea how time flies SO fast once you have kids.
You know I am right there with you. We had preschool graduation today. ITs all too much to take in. Life goes way too fast...way too fast.
Time goes by way too fast! My son graduated kindergarten this year. Enjoy the moments while they last!
