So I told you I was at this Airbnb here in Maui on the strip we took and, uh, oh, man.
The mattresses were not good.
I did not sleep while the kids did not sleep.
Well, I wish that they had Helix mattresses.

How much is already gone?
It's been a crazy period.
You've been digging out of it since they were born since they came home and the sleep deprivation began.
You've been getting them dressed, getting them to the doctor, getting them walking and talking, getting them to this birthday or that one and then to school and then to wherever your kids happened to be in age right now.
How easy it can be in the midst of this, especially when you're thinking of the next milestone, the next obligation, the next grade, to miss what is happening, just to say their childhood.
You look up one day and realize that infancy is over.
You look up one day and realize there will be no more days where you have them with you all day because that phase of their and your life is through.
You look up one day and realize you have a ten-year-old that ten years have gone by that ten years are gone.
You look up one day and realize they're no longer a child at all.
Take a moment today and think about that.
Not how old your kid is going to be this year but how many years they've already lived.
Think of the phases past, the grades graduated from, the milestones now receding in the distance.
Tempest, you get, it goes by very fast and when it's gone, it is gone, parent, accordingly.
