This is another milestone in my babies are growing up... My baby can reach the light switch. So sweet but so sad. I am so blessed to not miss these moments but at the same time I want to hold my ears when I hear that little voice say,"No mommy, I'll get it!!" and he does. I have always tried to teach my kids how to do things and ask them to try before I jump in and do it for them. I want them to be independent and ready to face the world when it is their turn to go out in it. I just want to slow down how long it takes that time to get here. It seems more these days that I get needed less and less since the baby is almost three (July). The saving grace is that I am still needed in a lot of places: "Mom, will you help me clean up?", "Mom, will you find my shoes?", "Mom, I can't find silly girl!!!", "MMOOOOMMM, she kicked me!", "MOOOOMMM, Noah is in the ______!!!" (Fill that in with anything and everything because I am sure he has been in it.), "Mom, Will you hold me?" (which is what I am getting to do right now as I type this so bear with the typos). So the fun never stops around here. I would not want to miss this for the world. I just want to say if you have never had the opportunity to be a stay at home parent you should Do IT!!!! If you don't have that opportunity make the most of the time you have. Take a lot of pictures they grow up so fast and if you are the main picture taker in the family makes sure you stop and takes some of yourself. You don't want to look back over the last 20, 40, 60 years and realize you are not in any of them. Take time to slow down. All the toys and clothes and dishes can wait....One day it will just be you and there will be no toys to pickup and how many clothes and dishes can one person wear.
For those of you who would like an opportunity to stay home with your family contact me and join my team of super people who put family first and are changing lives. I would love to have you.
