Small victories can be many things to different people. In
our house Harper is now buckling her car seat on her own and Crew is picking up
new words by the day. For us these are HUGE parent victories and I’m not
embarrassed to say I feel like such a proud mama that Harper can get in by
herself and buckle her own straps..Winning! In prep for my favorite season I have been training Crew early about Santa. I have been saying for a couple weeks now, "what does Santa say?" "Ho, Ho, Ho!", Crew now anytime I say that he can Ho, Ho, Ho for me! Its basically adorable and my new favorite trick to show off! From birth you do everything for
them and some days you think you just can’t wait for them to do something for
themselves. Then that day comes and you feel such pride that you taught them
something and they are learning and growing, then you feel complete sadness
that they are needing you less and less.
Every day is a mommy battle and I
think to myself if I could just get 1 hour to my self, then you have the
opportunity when they go to school or hang out with the grandparents, and you
are totally bummed out that your bestie is gone and you look at the clock every
15 minutes counting down the time until you can pick them up and get sassed
around by your threenager. I find as I’m in my last several weeks before the
new baby comes that my exhaustion level is 100% at all times but it feels like
at the same time everything is in fast forward. These little people in my life
are the best things that I could ever imagine, they may make our weekly Target
trip an utter nightmare but they are my besties for life and just a few minutes
with out them seems like an eternity. I feel selfish thinking I have to share
them with the world, but on the other hand they are so incredibly awesome the
world is dying to know them and it needs them to make their mark. I may be the
mom with the wild banshies in the cart, but the look on face is clearly that of
“ I don’t care..” they are smart and learning and love to giggle. Enjoy your
weekend and spoil your babies, I know I will be! Xo
