awww rich. Just do like I did and wait until she's 17 and then start all over with a newborn
At this rate, I'll be retired and still changing diapers, and they won't be my own

When my oldest sistard turned 25, I told her "Happy 1/4 Century!".My oldest said to me yesterday, "In August, I'm gonna be a whole decade old."
I did NOT need to hear that.

Not at all.
Sometimes I miss having babies. Especially when we're around some of our friends with newborns and I look across the room and Mrs. Toxick is holding one of them, and it reminds me of that time. We went grocery shopping last night and both of us must have thought the same thing because we both sighed when we walked past the baby-food section without stopping.
We used to spend at least 100 dollars a week in that section when we had 3 babies (or rather 2 infants and a toddler), with the formula, and the diapers and baby food for various stages of digestive development, and the diaper-genie refills, and the cans upon cans of air freshener, and the baby-wipes, and the bottles, and the binkies, and the little water-filled teething toys.
Then we remembered the endless stream of vomit and the horrified shrieks when we pulled open the diapers.
Whenever I think about how they used to be when they were younger, and start missing those days, I just think about how cool they are now... so, I'm going to save all my nostalgia for the time when they're older and moving away and getting married, and enjoy the current moments while I can.
I am looking forward to one thing though... pretty soon they're going to be old enough to leave alone for a few hours or the evening... and Mrs Toxick and I can enjoy dating each other again. Babysitters have always been few and far between for us, and we haven't been able to get away with Just Us very much. But I'm not going to rush that.
That was a very well said reply. Thanks. I too remember those days of baby food and formula. That did cost some money. It is cool that she is geeting older, I can do more things with her now. But I'll always have that soft spot for my little baby girl. Thanks for the reply though, it make me see that her getting older doesn't have to be a sad thing. See, there are people on this forum that can be nice and give good advice.

Wait...that was 15 years ago...did you harass her about being 40 this year?

Throwing the deuces
My youngest will be 4 in a few days and I go back and forth between happy and sad about it. If he could have stayed 6 months forever, that would have been great. I think I will have the most trouble coping with it on the first day of kindergarten. When I see my baby climb up onto that school bus and ride away, the tears will flow like no tomorrow. I can handle him going to preschool because it's only for 3 hours a day but standing there watching that bus pull away will be a different story. 
WOW - That was awesome! Granted she does get more and more "fun" the older she gets, I still miss the days when she wanted to be held, feeling her snuggle into me. I think only a mother could understand this one - but I miss nursing her, her looking up at me with those sweet eyes. I try not to take each age and stage for granted - she was an IVF baby and has 4 brother(s) and/or sister(s) in heaven so her being here is a true miracle - and since I know I likely won't have the pleasure of doing it all again, I do my best to make each day be the best day.
