I Can't Wait

I used to say to myself 

"I can't wait until they sleep through." 
then 
"I can't wait until they start solids." 
Then 
"I can't wait until they start crawling/walking." 
Then
" I can't wait until they start school." 
Then
"I can't wait until they can drive."
Then
"I can't wait until they go to Uni."
Then
"I can't wait until they leave home so I can get my house back."

In what seems like five minutes, UNI is done, they have moved out and you are living in a house that seems like a bit of a ghost town with imprints of all these memories in every room and you think to yourself:

"I can't wait until they visit." 

It goes by so very fast. 
It's one blink in one eye.
It's the best experience you can ever have and the greatest job EVER!!! xxx
