This makes me think a lot of things:  How quickly time passes when you have kids.  How scary it is to watch time pass so quickly, especially when you have kids.  And how I seem to be repeating myself.

We were about midway through our hour-long drop-off at daycare.  I was pretending not to notice the time I was supposed to be using for myself slipping away as I clung to my girl.  [...]]]></description>

Her newfound alertness was one of those developments you look forward to in theory, only to realize once you get there that it isn&#8217;t all it&#8217;s cracked up to be.  Sort of like when I used to stay up half the night anticipating a trip to Disneyland [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is, perhaps, the most remarkable change that motherhood has wrought:  I looked forward to the Purim Carnival for weeks before it was upon us.
This is remarkable because &#8212; although this was my first Purim Carnival &#8212; it was certainly not my first opportunity to attend one.

		<description><![CDATA[Jake has picked up a rather impressive and useful new habit.  He now frequently says, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry.&#8221;
The thing is, I&#8217;m not entirely certain whether he&#8217;s saying it when he&#8217;s the one who has something to be sorry for.  More often, I fear, he&#8217;s merely pointing out my own lack of social graces.
