I think that's such a common expression for many parents. And perhaps this is what ages them….

The relationship between mothers and children are special. Beautifully portrayed:)
How fast they grow!I agree totally.I am still unable to believe that my daughter has taken wings:)
Thanks Pallavi
Jairam: She'll be 20 before you know!
This was such a beautiful post, could completely relate to it given that my lil girl is all of 2 yrs old and I didn't even realize the time fly by…
Such lovely expression 🙂
Yeah sometimes I feel time's moving too fast. Suddenly the kids say or do something so grownup I have to take note.. even while their baby pictures are so clear in your head.
Feelings beautifully expressed. Every now and then I tell my hubby ' when did our teen grow?' time just fllllies away. I can identify with yr post.
I feel exactly the same way I have no clue where that time went xx
Superb! It is true that we observe our children growing every day, but still wonder how fast they grow up!
So true, every time I look at my kids I am amazed how big they have gotten. When did that happen? I wish I could keep them little forever, but unfortunately that doesn't work. They grow up and away. It boggles the mind how quickly time passes.
Wow!That is excellent and very true.They grow every moment unseen and unobtrusively till you realise they are grown up!
Yeah they surprise you all the time. Thanks for dropping by.
@Shilpa: Thanks.. yeah it is. Time flies once the kids come along.
@magiceye: 🙂
@Snigs, Aakanksha: Thank you.
@Shilpa: Thanks.
I am not a parent but I think this is such a lovely piece. 🙂 🙂 Wonderful take I say 🙂
wowww….!!!
Truly impressed!
A long and winding road!!
Beautifully expressed. My thoughts too… when did they grow up… isn't that a mystery!
