A Mother's Wish

I'm still here I promise. I may just be a little more tired, move a little slower and may look like a hot mess on some days, BUT I'm still here. Before I had Kylie, friends told me I would find a way to get things done or get out of the house and, miraculously, I have. It may not always be pretty, but things do get accomplished. And as I am learning, that basically is motherhood. You find your own way, do what works and you're off. Granted, when I do have a window of free time it's a mental game of "What can I start and possibly finish before Kylie wakes up and before Braedan notices he's playing on his own and asks me to join him." But given all the juggling, both mental and physical, I am having so much fun...fun with every aspect of doing this a second time around. I love watching Kylie fill out and grow little Michelin man rolls on her arms and legs. I love watching the hubby interact with another girl in the house. I love shopping and dressing Kylie, another fun fact I have found to be true which mom friends of girls also warned me about.

But the best part I love is watching Braedan with his little sister. He truly adores her, always thinks of her, protects her and already desires that she play with him. I can't wait to see how their bond will develop more as she gets bigger.

It's hard to believe Kylie turned three months this past Saturday, but according to Braedan and his wish for her to play, time isn't moving fast enough. Meanwhile all I can think is that I wish time would stand still for just a little bit.

Kindergarten. We came, we saw, we are conquering (or in my case coping)

Well, we did it. We survived the start of kindergarten, we are six weeks in to be exact and moving right along like a well-oiled, sight-word...
