Where Has Time Gone? Celebrating My Baby’s 7th Birthday.

Today is a very special day. It’s my baby’s 7th birthday!

And as I gaze upon this precious child, still peacefully sleeping in the early morn, I feel a tug on my heart as a flood of tears threaten to break loose. Where has time gone? It seems as though it was just yesterday that I was on my way to the hospital with mom, hoping that Cris would get there on time for the birth of our third child.

Yet here she is just entering what in France we call “l’age de la raison“, the age of reason or wisdom.

I chuckle as I think back upon the weeks before her birth. I was eager to meet this precious child, curious about whether she would be our first boy or our third daughter when I had a sudden moment of panic. “Oh my God what was I thinking? I’m going to have a 10 year old and a newborn at the same time!” (with one in between approaching this lovely “age de la raison”)

Minutes later I freaked out a little more as I realized that as my baby would enter the “torturous threes” which are FAR WORSE than the terrible twos, my oldest would be entering the tumultuous teens, completely uncharted territory for me as a mom!

What was I thinking indeed?!?

Well it turns out that God in His infinite wisdom knew the perfect spacing for our girls!  The girls have taught me so much about one another and the gap in years has allowed my husband and me to be better parents to all three of them.

Sabrina brought that magical sense of  wonder back into our lives just when we needed it most.  There truly is nothing more delicious than those squeals of delight that accompany every new discovery no matter how big or small. Whatever mood one of her older sisters may be in that magic is contagious and allows us to look around us through the eyes of a child.

And though you may have never guessed it, toddlers and teens are not so different after all… I’ve learned that tantrums and the slamming of doors both stem from the same thing — emotional overwhelm!  And that love and patience are truly the magic cure for just about anything.

My three girls challenge me daily… They delight me constantly…  Bring me to tears and cause me to burst out in delirious laughter… They make me want to pull my hair out or run off and hide for a few days, then make me wish I could stop time and linger in this very moment forever…But more than anything they fill my days with the richest of treasures and as I celebrate my baby’s seventh birthday I gasp and wonder:  Where does time go?  And I want to hold on just a little bit longer to the innocence and charm that early childhood graces us with.

Happy Birthday my Sweet Daughter!  You are a blessing to all who know you!
