Days

A couple weeks ago I was getting ready in the bathroom with both kids. Connor was having so much fun playing with his sister that he asked me to take their picture.

So I did.



And then I took another one.



And another one.



They were just so cute and sweet, I couldn't stop.



I've had a really good few weeks here at home, just being a Mom. Connor has been a true angel lately. We've been working on good table manners, being polite, being a good listener, and obeying Mom and Dad. And for some reason, he has been paying attention and is being so cooperative. Kaitlynn, too, has just been so precious and sweet and such an easy baby. It makes my days so much more enjoyable and really makes me appreciate the time I have with both of them.

Because I admit, there have been (and still are) days that I definitely don't appreciate it. Days when I daydream about returning to work. Days where I crumble in self-pity because I'm always on duty and never feel appreciated. And, I'm embarrassed to admit, days when I resent being a full-time Mom and wonder what it would feel like to take some time off.

So maybe that's why I can't stop snapping these pictures of my babies. Maybe a part of me realizes that more of the tough days are just around the corner, so I should soak in the good days while I can.



Hmmmm, did I say good days? I meant great.
