Kids

So lately I have been extra worried and sensitive to heart issues because our friends have been on a very bumpy journey with their 4 month old son Leif. On one of my posts to them I wrote that I was close to getting in the car and driving down so I could "tag" one of them out for a little break, just a moment to take their hurt away.

I never want to be in that position again...
So I always remind Hadley to be extra careful especially when going up and down the stairs. This morning she was walking up the stairs holding the railing and she said, "Look at me Mommy!" I said, "Wow you are doing a great job, just be careful, you are Mommy's special girl." She said, "Okay Mommy I won't die." It took my breath away.

It is amazing how much we love our children, so much more then ourselves. I often wonder what I did with my time before I had kids, I really must have been bored. They bring so much joy and happiness into my life that I just don't know what I would do without ever knowing that feeling. There are those days where I need to run as far and as fast from my children because they are driving me nuts, especially those awful tantrum days.

But I wouldn't trade it in for anything... I love everything about them.

The ups and downs of it all!
