The last few years have gonewent by so fast. In fact, time has flown by since I had my son Mason. People always tell you, "tThey grow up fast," and "Time flies once you have a kid.". I never realized how true that was until I was planning my son’s third birthday. Its was like time was still for so long and now it’s in a race to the next year. I often look at Mason and think, "wWhere did the time go?". Why does time fly by so fast when you have kids? I believe it’s because now it’s not all about you.
