There was a baby shower by Zoom Sunday for two nieces who are expecting: the idea was, order baby books mailed to them in advance and then let’s all celebrate and talk about our favorites!
I sent Sandra Boynton board books. As one does.
One cousin, whose youngest is about five now, told them, There’s always some lady at a grocery store who will tell you, Oh! They grow up SO fast!
I think that’s a pretty universal experience for young moms, often when the kids are not being their stage-presence best and so trying to get the simplest things done takes forever; I remember when, for a month, I had four kids under age six.
I answered, The days are years and the years are days.

Oh I love that answer! It’s so true. One day can feel like a year (or more) and yet suddenly they are grown with children of their own. Sigh, or grandchildren of their own.
