Life goes by SOOO fast. You don't really realize it till you have kids. But it flies by. And life with two children only twenty months apart is super hectic, so it feels as if it goes by even faster, if that's at all possible. Every day is a run on from the last, filled with tantrums, screams, tears, fights, hugs, kisses, and sometimes me locking my self in the bathroom long enough to pee and just take a deep breath before returning to the madness that is my house :)
But as these days run on and on and on together, we forget the little things. The snotty kisses we get and the mommy I miss you comments. We forget how our children used to be babies, and now look at them. Walking, talking, and driving each other crazy :) But life is so full of demanding things, especially for mothers, we honestly forget the little things that make everyone happy.
Ice cream cones for desert one night. Extra long bubble baths with toys & splash fights (which ends with one of them screaming because it gets in their eyes). Or, as in the picture above, playing cars on the porch. Ryder laughed so hard and had a blast playing with that little car. The little things always make us happy.
So as life goes by, hectic and crazy and the days running together, take a second every little bit to remember those little things.
My little moments from today? - Taylor telling me she missed me and loved me very much(while crying because it was Ryder's turn in the tub). Ryder giving me big snotty kisses and a huge hug because he didn't want to go to bed yet(he was crying because it was bed time, and it's night 5 of No Binky, and he knows he can break mama's heart) But still, even though it's rough with him screaming etc. that hug and those kisses made my entire day. Just like that little toy car made his day.
