They stopped being babies and became little kids who would grow up too fast. I quickly understood why parents had such a hard time when their kids started preschool. “You don’t start school for a few months yet, sweet cheeks.” And it was coming up way too soon for me. “A pack-pack, huh?” I asked, turning my attention back to Cassidy, who was squirming with excitement.

“Hey there, sweetheart,” I murmured to Daisy, then bent over to place a kiss on her fuzzy head. “I got a new pack-pack for school!” Cassidy announced, her chest puffing up with pride. She clapped and smiled at me, showing off her single tooth. My nine-month-old, Daisy, was bouncing to her heart's content. “What?” I settled her on my hip as I rose to my feet and walked to the baby jumper on the other side of the family room. “Hi, Daddy!” she squealed as her little arms squeezed me tight. “Hello, to you, too,” I wheezed, trying to catch my breath. “Cassidy! Slow down, sweet cheeks, you’re going to-oomph.” Somehow, I managed not to fall backward onto my ass when my three-and-a-half-year-old daughter came running and threw herself into my arms.
