Three years gone by

This Saturday is Logan's third birthday. I remember like it was yesterday bringing him home for the first time, and the first night as a new Mom. It was the biggest challenge I had met so far in my life. But here I am three years later, and we are all still living! Three years ago I was given one of the greatest gifts to be given, I became a Mom. It hasn't always been easy, but it is a very rewarding job.

Logan has always been such a high energy kid and it can be difficult keeping up with him most times. Since he took that first step, he hasn't stopped running, I am not sure if he even knows how to walk! The past three years seem to have gone by all too quickly, but we have made lots of memories along the way. From the first tooth to the first step. From first word to first swim. And let's not forget the first broken bone. Water parks and the Zoo, trips up North and becoming a big brother.

Although being a Mom can be stressful and tiring at times I would not trade it for anything in the world, my biggest accomplishments are my kids and the sky is the limit for them!

 

Happy Third Birthday Logan!

 

 

Mommy loves you so very much!

I'm not perfect

 I am not a perfect parent. I don't always keep my cool. I break down from lack of sleep. I get frusturated after telling my son for the millionth time to stop climbing on the counter because he could really hurt himself. I hate washing bottles. I really don't want to wake up for the tenth time to put the soothie back in my daughter's mouth. My mornings start way too early, like today 3:30am is when it started, it's going to be a long day!

But.......

I love being a parent. I love hearing my son call me Mommy. I love to hear the giggles in our house. I love watching my daughter smile each time, hoping to finally get to hear her laugh for the first time. I love feeling wanted by my childern. I love my kisses goodnight from my son. I love those special quiet moments in the early mornings with my daughter, even though I am so exhausted. I love making memories as a family.

Kids don't stay young forever, so I am trying to enjoy and take advantage of every moment, both the good and the bad.
