My kids are crazy...there's no doubt about that. Jack told me that he wants me to be an elephant for Halloween. He is insistent on sleeping with the bar on his bed down now, because he's a "big boy." He corrects us all the time (and he's usually right.) Caroline is a chatterbox, smiling and laughing and cooing at anyone that will look in her direction. She loves to be thrown around, she loves the swings at the park, and she's super cute. I get so caught up in the daily worries of being their Mom...am I doing it all right? Am I doing it all wrong? What could I do better? And most days, I am frazzled and exhausted and my patience is thin.
But I have to remember these moments...because everyone keeps saying they will be gone in the blink of an eye. And they are. Caroline was 6 months old yesterday. Jack is 3.5 and growing every day. I have to thank my dear friend Samantha Breen for sharing this article with me....oh how fast this time goes by!
A Letter to My 50-Year-Old Self
That article had me bawling! I really treasure every day with Emma and don't take any time for granted, but even I know that these days won't be here forever... that article got me to thinking about what things will be like in the future, and it makes me so sad! We are so lucky to be mommies. :)
