When I want to go to bed before my kids
I know that they have grown up!
When Nicki can prepare a power point and I cant
I know that he has grown up!
When Natalie can wear my clothes
I know that she has grown up
When Nicki can comfort me
I know that he has grown up
When he asks for an Ipod and laptop
I know that he thinks he has grown up!
When I realize Natasha is taller than me
I know that she has grown up
When she writes stories that are
More imaginative than mine
I know that she has grown up!
It seems like yesterday
When we brought them home from the hospital…
How quickly, they have grown up!
