too big too fast...

Ever since Zeus started working again, the boys and I have gone back to our regular morning routine...

Wake up at 8am (the boys have an alarm clock in their head and it never fails)
Prayer
Change Diaper
Brush Teeth
Breakfast

3 hours later, around 11am, Waylon will fall asleep for his first nap. He'll wake up after an hour, play for an hour, and then go down for his afternoon nap. Lucky for me Worthy gets tired around that same time which means I have a little bit of Mommy time for a few hours every day. ;)

Because they get sleepy at the same time, they want mommy at the same time. I love when they want some alone mommy time...but it can get a bit frustrating when they're BOTH crying for it. It usually ends up with me telling Worthy he needs to wait a minute until I can put Waylon to sleep. And Worthy is so good...I mean, he'll sit still for a few minutes waiting until he remembers he's tired and wants mommy again. But sometimes, he wants mommy and wants her NOW so I would have to put Waylon down and snuggle with him for awhile. And by the time he's sleeping, I would look around for Waylon...and lo and behold...he's knocked out on the living room floor!! haha

But I'm writing about this because even though it can get frustrating...I absolutely LOVE being wanted by two little people I call my sons. I love that they love to cuddle. I love that they love to follow me around the house. And I love that they love to LOVE.

Every night after I put them to sleep I can't help but stare at their innocent faces and wonder what I could have done better that day. How I could have been just a little more patient or just a little more loving. Because before I know it, my babies won't be babies anymore. They're not gonna need mommy to help them fall asleep. It's inevitable!! Growing up is what's to come whether I'm ready for it or not. I'm sad just thinking about the boys not wanting or needing me anymore. :( But I know WHEN that day comes, it'll be bittersweet. It's always a happy occasion, right? When babies take their first step, or when they can finally eat on their own without making a HUGE mess, or even dressing themselves. Worthy is finally starting to say words we can actually understand!!

Being a mommy is no easy job...not to mention a mommy of more than one child. But I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING! And as long as we can make it with only daddy working, then I'll take this job over any ANYDAY. ;) I can hardly wait to see how I'll do with 3 babies!! lol. oh I can't even imagine...
