Slow Down

Transitioning the last baby into the next phase of her life is harder than I thought it would be. Weaning. I have been holding off for as long as possible but I know it's time. It's not a complete cut off but the line has been drawn.
 Today was the first "no more milky after nap." There were tears, sobs, and temper tantrums. Maeli wasn't happy, either. I want to hold on and slow time. I blinked one day when my boys were playing with blocks and toy trucks and now they are 15 looking for jobs and wanting real trucks. Paris was happily twirling in her skirts and now she's wearing make-up. Jakey rattles off sports stats and is playing his first year in fantasy football. Life is going in fast forward. Where is my pause button.
Don't blink.
