Twenty-six years old, with three children, in five years…

I thought the laundry would never end.

It didn’t, but it sure has slowed down.

The part that did end was the moment-to-moment delights of walking alongside three of the most amazing people I know as they found their way up, out, and into the world.

I wish I hadn’t focused so much on the laundry.

I think that’s why the prospect of being a grandmother is so exciting.

I won’t be the one facing the daily mountains of tiny socks and t-shirts…

I know how fleeting is the time of read-alouds, sing-a-long bath times, and turning stones over on the beach…

And this time, I know enough to slow things down and soak in as much as I can of enjoying my own precious children as they raise theirs.
