We do forget those supposedly precious moments but they come flooding back when one or another of the little ones spins out of control. <br /><br />One of most rewarding aspects of grandmothering is helping the mom and dad get through those moments and remembering "been there, done that" too often and not passing judgment!Mary Quigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740167963283034150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209129785647063879.post-56342358675602833842015-05-25T21:38:32.473-04:002015-05-25T21:38:32.473-04:00Isn't it amazing what we forget?

I have such a clear memory of saying to my mother, "People always say that time goes so fast when your kids are small, well they don't!" I was living in a rural community where temps hovered below the zero mark. We do make it through and they do too...and in reality it is a blink. Lovely post.
