Those were my thoughts this morning as I pulled my very grogy "NOT a morning person" self out of bed. Time fly's so fast. In a week from to day my baby girl will turn 2. Where did those years go? Two years ago today I was waddling around the playground with my son hoping that going down the slides with him, and swinging on the swings with him would help induce my labor. That and I also was hanging on to every minute I had with him, just him. We don't often get one on one time any more, and something in my heart knew that that would soon be very limited. Jump ahead 2 years to today.
I was trying so hard not to be grumpy I'm so sore from my last 2 work outs that walking is almost limited. All I really wanted to do this afternoon was nap. Well the kiddos were making sure I did nothing of the sort. Lexi fell asleep promptly at nap time, but Danny just could not sleep. I finnaly gave up and got him up realizing that this was an opertunity that we don't often get. Just my little boy and I. My mamas boy time. So we snuggled and played playdough, and soon he fell asleep. Just in time for Lexi to wake up, and help me with the dogs. It's funny how some times I'm hating on life because my kids won't both sleep at the same time.
Yet when they stagger their naps it's like them telling me that sometimes we need mamas boy time + snuggles+books. Just some one on one low stress time to keep our bond strong. And same goes for mamas girl time. I hope as they grow older I continue to be more than just a mom, I hope I can continue to be their friend too.
That's all I have on my mind today!
