Wishes are funny things...
I used to wish everyday that Jace would
find his way out of the terrible twos, threes, & fours
I used to wish for the day I could go the store ALONE
I used to wish that I could carry a purse
that didn't require pockets for diapers, wipes, cereal,
emergency change of clothes, bibs, & toys.
With everyone in school now,
there are days I wish I could have some of it back.
I miss walking through the mall with a baby in the front pack,
two kids in the double stroller,
and two more hanging onto my pockets.
I miss being able to stay for 3 hours at the play place
because there was no one to pick up or drop off.
I miss rocking babies to sleep and
giving them baths in the kitchen sink.
On the flip side,
I love that everyone can get up, get breakfast,
get dressed, put on their shoes and
go potty all on their own.
I love that I can finally volunteer at the school,
and not have to arrange babysitting.
I love going to the pool and relaxing
while my big kids take over and play with the little kids.
It's a new phase, but I love it.
I could freeze time right now,
and be content for a long time.
Today, I wished for summer.
The sunshine streaming in my windows
was so warm, if stood right in it,
and closed my eyes,
it almost felt like summer....almost.
So I'm posting a few old summer pics
just for me!
