Today I was a bit distracted, and probably because of that there was a diaper malfunction, and poop all over a leg, and plum puree squirted from a pouch all over a car seat.
Today I stood in the kitchen looking at my two babies in their high chairs. They were both smiling at me, two teeth showing on the top, and waving by opening and closing their hands. They were so beautiful.
Today E continued to point at everything–the windows, paintings on the wall, toys, people..and call them all “duck,” enunciating very clearly in her precious little voice.
Today we woke up before 5 am to a baby crying. After a while we relented and brought E in to bed with us, where she crawled around happily, climbing up on our faces, breathing very close, trying to make it to the edge of the bed. Her perfect, round face illuminated by moonlight.
You paint such a beautiful picture… without even painting a picture! (ironically enough) Funny, I was just telling somewhat about a diaper pail malfunction from many years ago. I will spare you the details.
Thank you Marissa. And re the diaper pail–I can imagine!
Wonderful!
Glad you enjoyed.
So lovely.
Thank you.
Enjoy! It may be tough now, but later you will call these the best days of your life. Believe me!
Oh, I hope not! I like to think whatever time I’m living is the best time of my life, otherwise it’s sad to think about.
I guess it depends on how you think. The way my energy level is now compared to even just last year, I would say, glad I was young when I had kids.
This is lovely! My son goes around saying quack quack! It doesn’t matter what animal it is, he will say it says quack, quack! Lol, hope the little ones let you get some rest soon 😉
Ha–mine haven’t said quack yet, but that sounds about as funny as duck! 🙂
They are at such a cute age. I remember my guys coming into my bed early in the mornings and I never really minded.
They called anything with 4 legs a dog
I think it is a really cute age. You can see them watching everything so closely and learning. And it’s so cute when they stand on those wobbly little legs.
Lovely images in a day of a life with children. Beautiful!
Thank you. And thank you so much for visiting and commenting!
I secretly love when L has a rough night and has to snuggle in the big bed. Best feeling ever. I can relate to the smiles amongst the chaos. Was it your leg or the baby’s? lol
Ha–the babies’ leg and pants and also my shirt. I know, the snuggling was nice, but since she hadn’t been sick really before I was a bit too worried to be able to enjoy it. Next time 🙂
Oh, baby snuggles! I remember those. They are the loveliest thing ever. Enjoy every moment…..there are more wonderful things ahead, but this is a very singular experience…..
This blog helps me appreciate even the more difficult moments, like waking up at 5 am to a crying baby. Snuggles are pretty much the best.
