Growing Up Is Hard…
On the parent of a child. Wasn’t it just yesterday I was feeding you a bottle, and changing your diapers? Today you lost your first tooth and bought your first backpack in preparation for your first day in Kindergarten. What will tomorrow bring? I shudder to think. But, I’m hiding the car keys just in case 
Why can’t time stand still. Why must we all get older. In order to get wiser? If it were to get smarter, we would have by now invented a way to make time stand still. But, I guess we can’t freeze life, or an image, for ever.
Now I wish I did have a video camera… to capture all of life’s miracles. But, I’m thankful I did take a lot of pictures, and continue to take lots of pictures (to everyone’s chagrin). I should have started a journal to mark the milestones in your life. Perhaps I kind of, by chronicling your life with posts on the Squirrel Forum for the world to enjoy, and for me to reminisce, and for you to be forever embarrassed by when I will of course have to show them to all of your girlfriends (well, perhaps not to the blond haired girl you’re going to meet when you’re 15 and a half — but, that’s a story for another day).
Just remember to enjoy every day, and every moment of every day, for life is precious. Nighty nite, and off to bed with sweet dreams because I’ve received a text message that the Tooth Fairy is on her way.
