It is Summer Break and I love being home with my little babies. BUT they are not babies anymore! It is crazy how much we can do now that they are older. Today however I was reminded they are not THAT old. Petyl is getting ready to start Kinder and I really want her to have all of the bathroom issues in order before she starts. I still help her wipe when she has #2 but have been trying not to help so she can be ready to handle all of that at school on her own. Yesterday morning she had gotten up and went to the bathroom. She was calling for me and I kept telling her to take care of it. After a little while I could hear her crying and so I went to check. She did not have any toilet paper :( FAIL! I felt so bad. I got her taken care of and then just held her while she cried. I forget how little she is sometimes and I forget that it is my job to go teach her how to deal with stuff like this and it will take many lessons before she gets it. Poor nugget. Then on FB this is what I read.
"You will never have this day with your children again. Tomorrow, they'll be a little older than they were today. This day is a gift. Breathe and notice. Smell and touch them; study their faces and little feet and pay attention. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today, mama. It will be over before you know it." - Jen Hatmaker
Ironic right. I love my babies and am so blessed to have this time with them.
We then headed to the movies. Much happier times.
