Marching Forward this Monday
It has been about two months since Tiger girl entered school. A lot has changed in these few months. She seemed to have matured since she passed her 2nd birthday. She is more independent and has learned how to care for her siblings. She is like the little monitoress at home reminding her elder brothers to complete their task on time. She is able to pick up after herself and help out at home more now. She insists on bathing herself , picking out her clothes and wearing them herself.
Tiger girl is also coping very well in school. There are no tearful goodbyes and she settled into the school routine almost effortlessly. I can see that all the preparation that I have been doing with her all this while has been paying off. Every day she comes home happily singing tunes/ rhymes that are being taught in school. She is no longer the ” innocent baby” and now is a real good negotiator which is apt in getting her point /wants across to all.
Are your kids growing up very quickly too?

Yes… they are growing up too fast!
I know I ought to be happy when C starts to show independence, esp. of own accord, but the feeling is bitter sweet!! I’m sure you know what I mean 🙂

They are growing up too fast, too fast.

Yeah kids are totally growing up so fast. So we’d better cope up with the bonding moments.

Hurray for being so brave. I remember Henry’s 1st day in school, he cried alot.

Sometimes I wish they stay in their cute being but I’d be selfish if I do that. But they really grow up so fast so it’s only best to be with them every step of the way while we still can. 🙂

Definitely growing up too fast! But it’s also nice that my daughter is older and certain things aren’t such a challenge anymore. It makes things a lot more fun when you can have an actual conversation with them, watch them feel proud of their independence, and see them making unique choices. Plus, not having a toddler that has a death grip on your leg at dropoff is a relief as well!

They do actually. It makes me nervous sometimes. I take comfort to the fact that whatever developments they have, parents will always have a role on that.

It’s amazing to watch our wee ones spread their wings toward independence. It’s kind of a bitter-sweet pill to swallow, isn’t it? I mean on one hand you’re happy for each new accomplishment and another you’re sad to see them not need you so much. This is really a good picture of your precious one. Thanks for sharing your song pick with us on Monday’s Music Moves Me!

I was just collecting some baby pictures for my son’s senior graduation, and I look at those pictures and think WOW! I remember wishing he would be out of diapers, then wishing he could dress himself, then wishing he could bathe himself…don’t wish the years away! Enjoy every little moment.

Our kids sure do grow fast, don’t they? 🙂 Love your song choice!

They do grow up so very fast.
My son is almost 2 and just yesterday, i was thinking of how when he was a baby and how colic he was and how we got through that. And now he’s singing and dancing with the Fresh Beat Band.
🙁 Saddens me sometimes.
And then I have a 13 year old girl…I’ve lost my little girl.

My second daughter is growing up faster than my first one did, but I think that happens when you have older siblings. They seem to mature faster but in reality their emotions are still at their age level, which sometimes I think it can make them more difficult at times when they become teenagers.

Your pick for this week goes along with the sweetness of your little one.
My children are all grown up and having children of their own. Yes, time does fly. sigh…

That sweetie of yours is so smart. You done good mama. It’s like you gave her the diving board and she had to learn to jump and boy did she. She’s just too cute. Love your song (as I always do) great video. I love how they do their videos. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

She is so precious! I adore those cheeks. I’m still in love with my kids cheeks and sneak kisses all the time!
Glad she is maturing so well.
I think my kids are maturing well. Seems the girl faster then the boy even though he was born 2yrs first 🙂
Thanks for the music too!

Yes…the time passes so quickly. If I call our son baby he will speak up loudly saying I’m NOT a Baby. I’m a BIG BOY now.

Yes, my kiddo is growing up too fast. It also took him awhile to get used to his preschool… I think he is a bit on the shy side- but all better now!

My children are already grown and now I’m watching my grandchildren growing up too quickly too! Don’t blink POOF! they’re almost as tall as you are. My 12 yr. old granddaughter I’m going to have to look up to her soon! Sheesh! And just look at your little Tiger girl. So precious. Your video looked intriguing until I clicked the arrow & it said it wouldn’t play in my country! 🙁 Oh well, have a great day. Maybe next time. Do you celebrate Halloween???
