is she a baby? is she a toddler?....she's a KID!




Do you ever sit there on the floor watching your kids play, you take a deep breath and suddenly you notice...the new baby smell is GONE!....now the drool, dirty diapers, colossal amount of laundry..etc...yeah, now that's still here.......but the new baby thing....you know the feeling! the tiny little person, with tiny parts, tiny coos, tiny cries...tiny.....tiny is GONE! It's been replaced by big noise and big cry and running and talking (and talking back)...not a bad thing, I don't DISLIKE my kids now...I just miss...the baby......a lot.
I have devoted my life to my kids....My thoughts, my actions, my every day "doings"...all for , about...my kids. One might think, this kind of life is not a "full" life, that you should still have something of your own, like hobbies, carrier..etc.. To each his own, I say!...this motherhood thing is my hobby, carrier, life's work!...Motherhood is a 7 course meal for me, desert and cocktails included!..I don't feel like I'm cheating myself...I want to do this right and so putting my 100%, my whole self is in my opinion,( for me)...the only way!..I guess if you still need more...well you can always.....blog(insert smiley face here)
Tori is 14 months old....a walking, running, climbing, talking, screaming....exploring machine! she's fun and funny, full of life and love! Great! impressive! wonderful! fascinating! .....delightful!!!!......yet I'm a little sad, and I miss the baby...a lot..
Not quite sure why it is so hard this time around...never has been easy but this time....difficult..Maybe because this(most likely) is our last baby...aww, that thought did not come without pain..It is almost hard to comprehend that this chapter of our family life is over....ouch (there is that pain again). Big job ahead!...instead of having kids...we're now going to be raising them!...Monumental, grand, mighty job!...wish us LUCK...we'll need it...
I am up for the challenge, and when they are all "raised" and out in the world on their own journey we will have the memories of who they were and pride of who they've become....I love it now and I will love it later.....just miss the baby.....a lot
