Katie L commented on February 20, 2010 - I wish I had thought this when my kids were tiny. They're 8 and 6 now, and time if FLYING! When you first have a baby there is a reason people tell you to enjoy it because it goes too fast.

Amy K commented on February 20, 2010 - Yes, yes, yes!

Mallory P commented on February 20, 2010 - Totally agree with Katie. My boys are 8 and 5 and have passed most of the milestones that everyone mentioned. I truly regret "wishing" their little childhoods away now. They are becoming so independent(as they should)I am holding onto every moment now.

Jj J commented on February 9, 2011 - I can wait as well. My kids grow so fast. My son is ten and he's pretty much on his own-- I miss those times when he clings on me and was very dependent. So now I have a 2 yr old daughter truly enjoying every precious moments with her.

Gabrielle R commented on February 12, 2011 - I completely agree. Every moment is precious and it seems every moment is fleeting. It's fun, however, to dream into the future and think of the wonderful things your child will achieve at different milstones. Savor every moment. I invested in a videocam!

Start kindergarten so I can quit paying for preschool.

enjoy museums!

go backpacking!

bring them on a road trip vacation and to places like Yosemite and Yellowstone! I can't wait to have adventures with my kids!

be able to push themselves on the swing! a great day for mom!!! as parents we were also delighted the first time we went to dinner and a movie and left our kids at HOME alone in the evening. (probably ages 14,10 and 8 or so) That was sooooo liberating!

to be able to read children's novels - I cannot wait to have a book club with my little boy and hear what he thinks about what he's reading.

WALK

sleep through the night!

effectively wipe her own butt.

I have two girls and I can't wait for girly-girl outings like back to school shopping at the mall. Or, getting pedicures together while sipping smoothies. Those were fun times I had with my mom and I'm excited to do them with my girls.

fold his clothes!!!!!!!

CLEAN AFTER THEIRSELVES

travel to Europe with us!

Talk! I can't wait to hear what is going on inside that cute little head of his...

To talk/ to take her to the ballet and children's festivals/ to travel more

Although I don't want time to go any faster than it does, I can't wait til my daughter will actually sit down with me to read a story. She's 15 months and I can't get her to sit still and listen to a story. Also costumes and trick-or-treating.

Can't wait to go shopping together and get her opinion if something looks good on me or not lol!

Buckle his own seat belt!

I can't wait to go camping and be able to 4 wheel with them. We did once with our son when he was 10 mo, I was stressed and he loved it. He laughed the whole time. Now that they are a little older we can all have fun.

I can't wait until my son is old enough to handle himself while I sleep in! It's been years and will probably be a few more, but I'm already looking forward to it. 9am would be good enough for me. Much better than 6am every.... single.... morning....

I wish I could go back to the moments when my grown up girl who suddenly became 18 & off to college sat on my lap & want to read "her version" of a book. Appreciate each moment & don't rush-it goes so fast. Carolyn www.snowflakegems.com

I'm looking forward to going on a bike ride, with him riding his own "big boy" bike (no more bike trailer, etc.).

Entertain herself, and for my son to hold his own bottle.

ride a bicycle... around town, at the park, at Yosemite.... I'm looking forward to more active family outings.

Can't wait for her to be old enough to go to school full time and have after school activities and go to sleep overs and things... Enough big kid activities that I get more "me time" and time with my husband... but not SO BIG that she is a grown up, :)

take care of herself

Hearing your grandson say: "She's not my grandma, she's my mom". This after our daughter, his bio mom died & he lived through a disastrous year of abuse w/bio dad and step mom. This affirmed our bond of parent/child, not sought but assigned by life.

he learns to talk and says i love you mommy.....

My daughter is grown (29) and has a family of her own. However, my 17 y/o son has Asperger's Syndrome, Oppositional Definant Disorder, ADHD & Bi-polar. I can't wait to see the day that he will live as a productive, positive man in a group home.

not require a diaper bag!

Read books to ME. I would love to relax and just gaze at the pictures while she enraptured me with a story :)

1. Use the potty on her own 2. Go to school 5 mornings a week 3. Let Mommy sleep in

Can sit down and do his homework on his own without needing much guidance or motivation.

Finish grad school and earn a living. Oh, yeah, and give me grandchildren. My children are 24 and 26 years old. :)

To understand when I tell them to never, ever have kids. The little moments of joy are not worth years of frustration and throwing one's life away.

They grow up 2fast as it is,I try not wish it quicker. Having children doesn't limit our outings & abilitys. Every child goes with us, no matter the age & make it happen! Sure at 18M they can't do roller coasters, but she still goes & has fun.

hiking in Maui

safely drive a car so he can run out on an errand or to get me a Starbucks. I have a long wait, he's only 4 years old!! LOL

I look forward to the time when my child can share what they are thinking their ideas, wonder and creativity. To talk with them about what ever comes to mind.

Go to college. lol

I can't wait until my oldest daughter has children, so she understands why I did some of things I did when she was a harmone raging, beautiful teenage young lady. She was also Bi-Polar, with Emerging Personality Disorder. I did it all out of love....

Having two adult daughters, I can't wait for my 17 year old(#3 daughter) to be out on her own for a while, (she's off to school next year after she grads high school) so she becomes one of my FRIENDS! Just like her sisters both did!!

Tell me whats wrong!

Go to Disneyworld! We have a rule- you can't go until you are brave enough to ride most rides and can carry your own stuff!

I've waited 21 years to have my life back, time is up for me, (oldest (22) moved out of the house and my youngest (19) works so much I hardly see him! Now that that being said, I work too much, and so tired to go out...

eat age appropraite food on her own and have no problems with it
