Turn around, you're a young boy going out of my door. Turn around, you're a young wife with babes of your own. Turn around and you're tiny, turn around and you're grown, You're a young girl going out of my door.ĭirndls and petticoats, where have you gone? Turn around, you're a young girl going out of my door. Turn around and you're two, turn around and you're four, Where are you going, my little one, little one? 'Cause one day you'll grow and I'll miss you soĮach step that you take will be further away I'm anxious to see all you're going to be You'll get bigger with each morning light 'Cause I know you'll change and you'll grow (written by Betsy Hernandez, sung by Jodi Benson) In a twinkling, a woman will be standing there." So I am holding these moments as close as I dare. So I am holding these moments as hard as I can,īecause the next time I look I'll be seeing a man. Why just yesterday you were home with me. Time goes by so fast its hard to believe, You'll be wearing your cap and graduation gown. I felt a lump in my throat and a tear stung my eye.įor when the bus brings you home and you jump to the ground, Why, look at you now, you're already five.Īs the bus drove away and you waved good-bye Your third birthday, another year I wished to ignore,īut as I lit the candles there weren't three but four.įour was the year that you really strived, There were so many things we were going to do,īut independence took over when you were three. With a blink of an eye you were suddenly one. You could put the most recent picture in a photo sleeve and change it at the child gets older. I liked it so much that I made one for each of the grandparents using pictures of the kids with the grandparents when they were very young and then recently photos. I originally made the album to show potential customers. Since my children are fifteen, eighteen, and twenty, there was quite a difference in the pictures. I made a Then and Now sentiments album showing my children as babies or very young on left side of a two-page spread and then a recent photo on the right. You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.When a child grows up to a point where we can live with them, they decide to leave home.When I was a child I thought nap time was a punishment.now, as a grown up, it feels like a small vacation.
There are children born to be children, and others who must mark time till they can take their natural places as adults.I've spent a fortune on my kid's education and a fortune on their teeth.It's not an Empty Nest until they get their stuff out of the basement.How strange that the young should always think the world is against them-when in fact that is the only time it is for them.
