Every day with kids is a roller coaster. One minute you’re up, the next going down and let’s not forget always having to be prepared for the unexpected twists and turns.
Like now, I feel like a walking zombie again thanks to the joys of teething and the oh so fun tantrums….from not just one but both girls!
But it’s hard to imagine life any other way once you have kids. They do take up a lot of your time, day and night and everything in between!
I will admit though it’s still fun watching them grow, develop their own personality and take on the world.
It’s just a shame they feel taking on the world involves wiping me out in the process!
Each day often brings with it new challenges, new discoveries and a whole lot of questions.
Why really can be a horrible word, especially when your patience is wearing out.
Some days I’m prepared with answers, even if they don’t make sense to me, Miss Izzie seems happy enough.
And other days Mummy just spends her time losing her marbles. If you find them somewhere I’d love them back, haha!
I love her curiosity more than anything because I think it reminds me of what I was like and to an extent what I’m still like now. Always asking questions, wanting to find out as much as I can about what’s happening in the world.
Kids are always learning from us, even if it’s not always necessarily good things (haha).
Sometimes I think it can be a bad thing that my girls carry many of my traits but then I realize it has potential to be a good thing too. The bad temper maybe not so much.
As for Miss Phoebe, watching her come into her own and stand her ground more and more with her big sister can be both hilarious and exasperating at the same time. I’m already having visions of hair pulling in the not too distance future. And the thought of fights over clothes and shoes is another level altogether.
But at least they’re still up for the cute kisses and cuddles at bedtime. Awwwww!
I don’t know where I would be without them….okay maybe I could think of a few places….just kidding.
But like most parents, I hope that despite everything they go through that they grow up to be the best they can be, achieve everything they want and do what makes them happy without ever thinking they didn’t give it their best shot so long as they tried and gave it their all.
Sometimes I wonder if the same could be said for other things in life but that as always is another story…
I’m off on another fun roller coaster ride, it’s like they know the minute you sit down, they always know (haha!).
