three summers

Today I found myself counting how many summers I had left with Greta until she went to kindergarten. We are starting to look at preschools and will need to register Greta for the fall session this month. I think it's got my head spinning and wondering where has the time gone? I'm home with my kids during the day, fitting in the time to do my part-time work from home when I can, but even when the days are long and we can't wait until daddy walks through the door. Many days I feel like I am losing my mind.  But, after the kids are asleep and I've had some time alone, I feel like I miss them. Am I crazy? It's not like I want to go wake them up or anything. I cherish my kid-free time as much as anyone, but I just feel like these days are zipping right past me.

Greta was brushing her hair the other day and she turned to me and said "Look, I'm pretty like mommy". Oh my heart.
