Another song that touches me deep in my soul. I hope that every child that goes to sleep tonight has their parent or someone who loves them immensely tucking them in and letting them "be little" for another day. They do grow too fast and I wish I'd enjoyed mine more when they were little. My "little ones" seem to be on the fast track to being "kids" and as proud as I am of them, I just want to keep them little as long as I can. There is plenty of time for them to learn all the grown up stuff, but the kid stuff just seems to fly by them and then it's gone, almost like the fireflies of summer. If you don't enjoy them while they're here, it's too late.

Tomorrow I'm taking the little ones to the pumpkin patch and even that will probably be something they'll outgrow way too fast. The two older grandchildren always loved going but this year it's going to be hard to find a time when they can go. Between school, parent's work schedules, football and birthday parties, they may not even get to go. So I'm taking the little ones tomorrow and if it works out that the bigger boys can make it another time, I'll go again with them, and remember how little they were the first time we took them, and wish that they would have stayed little a little bit longer.
