Reading Confetti: Celebrating Moments in Childhood: Gymboree Sponsored Giveaway

When I watch my kids playing or overhear them having a conversation, I often find myself thinking, This right here is my favorite age. I want them to be this age forever. Luckily, I've felt that way about almost every stage of my kids' lives. When they were tiny, I loved how they would study their hands and imitate facial expressions. When they were toddlers, I couldn't get enough of hearing them say new words or seeing them dance wherever the mood struck them. Now as preschoolers, there is so much about them that I want to soak up while I have the chance.

I love that they still believe in magic, wishing stars, and Santa Claus.

I love experiencing firsts with them.

I love their imaginations and their pretend games.

I love the flowers they pick, the pictures they draw, and the songs they sing.

I love how they find everything interesting and worth investigating.

I love their sense of style.

I am thrilled to be partnering with Gymboree to share this video with you. As we head into the busy fall season, Gymboree is celebrating and sharing cherished moments in childhood. Get the tissues ready before you watch it.

I absolutely love Gymboree's clothing and they are generously offering a $50 gift card to one reader. To enter, use the rafflecopter form below. You can find giveaway rules here. Good luck!

I am not ready for them to grow up because they are currently so kind and innocent to everything including other children being mean, I want them to enjoy their childhood as long as they can.

I too have loved every age. I tell my girls to stop growing all the time. I homeschool them and I love every minute. I shudder to think in 10 years my youngest will be going to college. It will happen too fast.

I am not ready for my 3 year old son to grow up because my daughter is in college living in the dorms and I know how hard it is to have your kids away.

I am not ready for my daughter to grow up, because she is just a baby! I love watching her learn and explore, as now she can crawl!

I just love having two preschoolers for now! Plus I tell my husband that my child development degree is only through age 7, so I don't know what to do after that :).

I am not because I tend to take some of these beautiful moments for granted. After watching this I won't do that as often.

I am not ready for my sweet kiddos to grow up because I will miss all the tender moments. The snuggles, kisses, and giggles.

My boys are 6, 4, and 2, and I really love this stage we are in. I love playing with them every day and teaching them so much. I'm definitely not ready for them to not be so dependent on me.

I find myself saying "I love this age" often too. When my kids were babies I found myself holding very tightly to those special moments and I feared them getting older, but the older they get the more I realize there is always something else to look forward to and new ways our relationships change. It's a really awesome journey.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment!
