It just hits you....

Tiny isn't in love with TV, to say the least... but once she saw Jerry Seinfeld's "A Bee Movie" she was entranced. Girl LOVES her bugs and bees. One day I just sat in amazement as she caught bee after bee off my sedum. After she would catch them she put them in a little plastic terrarium. Upon accumulating 30 or so she would open the little trap door and watch them all zoom out. She did this for a few days....I am not kidding this girl loves bugs.... on the third day she got stung... but seriously...how many bees did she woo before she found one who would not cooperate? Over one hundred for sure.
Regardless there are some days I look at these girls and it just strikes me "they have come along way". In my day to day they just gel so well with all the kids I pushed out.... I just mother them like all my children...They *are* my children, afterall. But there are those moments when it just hits you all over again, "holy shit they are here!...there was a time when they were definitly NOT here... and now by the grace of God they are here!"
So the other day I was sitting at my laptop and planning our day. A Bee Movie was wrapping up...everyone still in their pajamas... and the closing song is "Here comes the sun"...and we all know the lyrics, right? right! I look up to tell the girls to run upstairs and get dressed and this is what I see.... and the tears well up and you think , "holy shit...they are really here!"
(make sure you pay attention to the lyrics )
