MOTHERHOOD

fatigue

endless exhaustion

whining, screaming, fighting

diapers, spit-up, drool, mysterious messes

nighttime sickness, worry, medicine, doctors

making dinner, scrubbing, fingerprints, potty training

kissing boo boos, wiping tears, mending hearts and feelings

first smiles, first giggles, first steps, first day of school

hugs, slobbery kisses, snugging with a story

tickle monsters, laughter,  games, fun

magic, belief, trust, wonder

forever relationships

eternal love

joy

SOCCER . . .

Ready or not, here she comes!

Now if we can get her to focus on the game instead of hugging her friend . . . {unfortunately my camera ran out of batteries during that part}

Preschool Photo Shoot

My little girl started preschool the other day. 

We tried . . .

. . . and tried to get a picture of her with her eyes open.   We tried taking a little break.

She even tried to hold them open.

Finally, with a turn and a "flash" surprise . . .

WE GOT IT!!!  Have a great day at preschool you cute, little girl!

A different child . . . 

A different love.

A NEW LOVE

Isn't it great to live near a mom and sisters who can help you do this?

Random thoughts

First:

I think teething might just be the end of me. Bo Bo's 4 molars have all broken through this week, and he let me know all about it. Yes my little boy, I know they hurt, and I'm sorry. Now Mommy's head hurts too.

Second:

As I was tending to Little Bo this afternoon, I was listening to T and H. They were playing "lava" together. I loved listening to them play the same game I used to play when I was little.
