I wrote this post a few weeks ago and never got around to posting it…
Since then I’ve come to really appreciate my role as a mom and try to cherish each moment I have with my boys. My old coworker lost her 19 month old granddaughter who was only a few days older than Isaac, and my cousin lost her full term baby girl, and I recognize that life really is a gift, and children truly are miracles. As heartbreaking as these past few weeks have been, I am grateful for the ability to learn these life lessons.
And I’m holding my precious little boys close, thankful to be a part of their lives even when all of us are impatient, tired, and cranky. And even when I’ve swept the kitchen floor for the 6th time in one day.

My sweet little angels have been driving my nuts. Absolutely nuts. I think it’s pretty common with moms of toddlers, but completely taboo to admit openly. But the point of a journal blog that no one really reads is to be honest, right?
(I can’t decide whether I dislike the terrible two’s or the even-more-terrible three’s more!) Being a mom is HARD. A more experienced mom recently told me that she didn’t like toddler-hood, but it got better…I sure hope she’s right! :)
But as any mom knows, a thousand annoyances, clean-ups, and time outs are somehow wiped away by a sweet hug, a few minutes of cuddles, and the words “I love you, mommy!” And I have seen my love for my boys deepen, and we continue to share many wonderful memories…with a few hair-pulling moments mixed in!
