Reflections on Day 728 of parenthood

Since I probably won't make it here Wednesday I thought that I'd do some quick reflections on the past two years since I became a Mommy.

First off.. my word.. these past 2 years have flown by. I still can't believe that these little people are mine. I also can't believe how much they have taught me in the past two years. Like how fast they can get away from me. This is especially true at the park near Grandma's house where there is a BIG slide that has 3 slides all smooshed together. It's really HIGH too..especially to someone who is just under 3 feet tall and shows no fear when climbing (Anna).

Another lesson that I've learned is to watch and keep an eye on the shoes and the socks since they can go flying when the girls (Lily especially) are really mad. I actually had to hold Lily in my arms a couple of weeks ago while at the park as I searched the entire park for her shoe that she had decided to take off. We did find it but I was majorly stressing over it.

I sometimes have fantasies about what my life would be like if there were only 1 little person in my life (and yes I am jealous of the mommies that have 1 kid at a time) but I wouldn't trade either one of my girls for anything. I LOVE listening to their "conversations" when they are playing with each other (ok near each other) and when they are in their cribs going to sleep or just waking up. It's so freaking cute when they spontaneously give each other a hug or a kiss.

I am still amazed at my girls and how resilient I am (and have had to become) when it comes to everything about them and how much we've been through as a family to get to this point. I won't lie and say that it's been easy to be their mom but it's definitely been interesting to say the least.

By the way... I did the math to figure out the number above since we are 2 days away from age 2.
