Has this ever happened to you?

(This one wasn't taken today. Just pretend.)

I was out running errands today with Peyton. We were stopped somewhere and I glanced back to look at him. I kind of freaked out over what I saw. He didn't look scary or anything like that. It was just a very mature, almost adult looking face staring back at me. I felt like I was kind of getting a glimpse into the future. I had to blink my eyes and shake my head to bring myself back to reality. I felt kind of ridiculous for freaking out and had to laugh at myself to calm down. It's just that it made me sort of sad to see time slipping by right in front of me. Some days I wish I could stop it, but if what I saw is any indication, I think he's going to make a very handsome man.

Gosh I know that feeling. My daughter is 8 and I see more and more how she has changed. He's adorable by the way!!

He is growing up so fast. Yes, it has happened to me too.

That's exactly how I felt today when I looked at my 18-year-old.

Christa-

He is such a cutie. I know what you mean, sometimes Ashlyn looks grown up too. She already has the attitude.

I hear you! I am doing it with my oldest grand daughter lately. Bad enough to have done it with my kids, but now, a whole new generation to freak out about growing up too fast!
If being an incredibly good looking boy is any indication, then you are absolutely right.
