My kids are turning 4 and 6 this year, and sometimes I'll look at a picture and I swear it looks like they're in high school. I have been getting all emotional lately, and trying to be more present and snuggle the kids more.</p> <p>I can feel things starting to change... like when sometimes my son will refuse to hold my hand! Sniff sniff... then again, the other day I was just walking along with him and I felt his little hand slide right into mine. So maybe I have a little more handholding ahead of me. I'm bracing for him to move to the next phase of childhood, where his friends are his life and his parents are just embarrassing.</p> <p>Can you feel the years just flying by? </p>
