Amazed

So do you know what amazes me? Children... I was thinking the other day that my oldest child will be able to drive in 7 years. I know you're thinking it's 7 years... but do you realize how much mental growth will have to happen? Not to say her in particular but any child. But then I got to thinking look at how much mental growth happened since she was 2; that was 7 years ago. Isn't that amazing?

No other time in a person life does this much mental growth/maturity happen. At 16 she'll have the maturity to drive a huge metal object without (hopefully) hitting anyone. Growing up you never think of things like this. But as a parent whoa just think of all the stuff I put my parents through.... which we won't discuss here lol.

Why do children have to grow up?
