Nostalgia

I don’t consider myself a nostalgic person. My husband would probably disagree but hey, he married me anyway. I consider myself a dramatic go with the flow kind of personality. Because let’s be honest without the drama- life would be pretty boring. Let that drama emphasize life a little bit!

As of late I have been getting a little emotional/nostalgic about everyday events. Mind you this is the first time in about 4 years that I haven’t been pregnant.. but I’m not talking about crying buckets, I’m talking about being with pride at these minions of mine.

Our girl has had some swallowing issues since day 1. She is down to 1/2 teaspoon per 12oz. She started out with 4 tablespoons per 8oz. So I’d say she’s doing pretty well. Although the weaning process has been looooong to say the least. But we are almost there, I can see her light. -it shines bright like a diamond- The other day, she ate an entire McD’s happy meal and I didn’t have to cut anything or replace anything with a puree. Chicken nuggets, apples and fries. She just cashed the whole thing. I was so proud I could have cried, had I been with child I would have, but I’m not and I didn’t but man oh man was I happy. 

Our oldest (who turns 4 today!) has been teaching me how to be a mama for 4 years now. And man he wants me to know how to handle just about every scenario- I thank him for that! He has been learning how to read sight words and it is truly remarkable how intelligent he is. Proud is an understatement. This little boy went from a smiley little cuddle ball to this little boy who is fearless. Orders his own meals at restaurants, isn’t afraid to try new things, talk to people, show the world his kind heart. I am so proud of all of his accomplishments in this short short life of his.

Golly piffle.

The days are long but the years are so short.

When/how did the time go so quickly? How is he learning how to read, carrying on conversations, telling jokes!? Again, I’m normally not one to dwell on nostalgia, but these little guys are getting me these days! Thank you all so much for loving my kiddos as much as you do!

We are the luckiest.
