The thing about clichés... they're usually true.

Cliche- Noun: something that has become overly familiar or commonplace, and therefore loses its meaning.
It's never fun to hear the same thing over and over again, like when you have a newborn who is up and eating every hour and someone says "enjoy this now, they grow up so fast". During those moments, you may think to yourself-"anytime now will be fine. I want to SLEEP". Someone else may say "hug your kids while you can", while one is stuck to your leg and the other is hanging off your neck. In that moment you'd kill for a day to not be touched constantly from morning until night. And of course, there's the "one day you'll miss this", just after you get that mega-tantrum under control that about 30 people just witnessed at Target.
And of course, there's the one, that I actually love- "the days are long, but the years are short"....which hits you hardest the day your baby starts kindergarden. All you can think is "they grow up so fast", or "man, I'm going to miss this".
You take your baby to school (5 is a weird big kid but still a baby mix), walk them to their seat, and desperately want to pull the teacher aside and tell them how special your child is.
I mean,I realize there's 20 great kids, but mine is especially funny, smart, sweet, loving.... don't you think????
But, you know you can't be that parent.
Maybe I'll just throw a detailed note in his bag tomorrow...

Ready to go!
