I was given a pointed reminder of the march of Time today, while putting away the dishes of all things. For those who don't know I have two little girls, and I noticed today at some point (I will never know when) we wound up with fewer Elmo plates and more Barbie plates in the cabinets.
It just struck me pretty hard. Lots of that to come, I know, but this was one of the first that had that effect on me. I have no idea what I'll do when the day comes that they don't want to play Hide and Seek with me any more. I guess I'll just smile and watch them go racing on with their lives and try to keep up.
New (and prospective) fathers be warned. It will happen to you.
