Lightning Fast!
Lightning fast is
Jack's speed when running away from me
Jack's speed when he's running anywhere
The speed in change of expressions on their little face
How quick messes are made
How quick the dishes pile up
...and the laundry
the nights go by
the years go by (Jack turned 2 today)
The speed I can accelerate to when Jack yells "GO" in the car
how quick I can go from fuming mad
to heart melting
The speed at which Violet will find anything small and put it in her mouth
...giggle at her brother or the vintage Jack in the Box in their room
the quickness with which both of them will go from playing with each other
...to crying because of each other
the speed in which Dutch will bolt when getting his fur ripped out
...by tiny hands that are growing
