Parenting







It is crazy how fast life goes and how much my own life has changed in the last 5 years. I knew I always wanted to be a mom, loved babysitting other people's kids, etc... I have to admit I had no clue what "being a mom" really meant!! I love these two precious littles one so much but everyday brings on a new challenge. It could also be that Paige is all about her own opinion and is living up to being 3 years old!! WOW is all I can say about 3 year olds:) I for sure have learned a lot from her about myself lately. As I watch Paige and Chase play and interact with life I get a little sad that they are already growing up so fast. Paige is starting 3 year old preschool in the Fall and Chase will be in MDO. This time of year has been hard for me that past 4 years because this is when I would go back to teaching and get everything ready for the new school year. I do miss that but I know that I will get to do that again one day!! I do love staying home with these two but do miss my teaching days:) I tell myself daily to hang in there because once Chase starts school I am going to wish for these peaceful days at home with my little ones!!! I think parenting is the hardest but most rewarding job ever!! I just have to prep myself some days to make it through the whole day but remind myself each day they get older. This means closer to starting school. That is why I hug them a little longer/tighter, pray & stay calm before I react to some situations and remember that God is teaching me something everyday!!! I love you Paige & Chase!!!
