| It's really hard to paint the toes of a squirming baby......it was the best I could do! |
It was a lot of fun! Today I was sitting at Taylor's dance class and was thinking about how I used to always look forward to St. Patty's Day because I always went out with friends and consumed WAY too much green beer. Now, I paint my toenails green and make cookies. It's just funny how your life changes once you have kids......how your priorities change. I wouldn't trade it for the world! I absolutely adore my little girls and I can't imagine my life without them.
I have had quite a few moments lately where I just look at either Taylor or Madi and I am overwhelmed with my love for them. I actually think that my heart stops because I am so engulfed in the love we have for each other. I had those moments from time to time before I had Madi but to be honest with you, I think I was too busy with life. Not that we aren't busy now......we couldn't get any busier.....but I don't think that I stopped to "smell the roses".
Everyone that knows me knows that I am not a patient person and I am always go-go-go. But, I am being "forced" to accept that things aren't always going to go as I want and in the timeframe that I desire. And I am saying "forced" because some days I have a really hard time with it. I feel like I am getting better at accepting that Madi is going to do things on her own timeline but boy, some days it just kills me inside. Just because I accept it, doesn't mean I have to like it. Madi is getting better and stronger every day but I am having a hard time accepting that the average age for holding their head up consistently for long periods of time is 6 months. 6 months?!?!?! Taylor was crawling at 6 months! I know, I know......I shouldn't and CAN"T compare but WOW!!! 6 months! Now, granted, kiddos do it earlier too and I am hoping that Madi will be one of those kids.
This is where I have been the last couple of days......a series of ups and downs. I think it doesn't help that Madi had a horrible PT session on Monday. So, I didn't get my usual burst of confidence that I usually get and to be honest with you, I need it. I find that right after a PT session, I am feeling confident with Madi and the exercises I am doing with her but by the weekend, I am starting to go downhill again and doubt what I am doing with her and feel like she is not progressing. So, I NEED those good PT sessions......for my sanity!
Anyways......here are a couple of super cute pictures of the girls today to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!!!
