It is these precious moments that put a smile on my face as I begin my day. For instance, our drive from home to school is about 35 minutes (on a good day- no train, no accidents, no road closures etc.) so Baylee and I flip through the radio channels trying to find something good to listen to. We have found at 6:30 92.9 has a mind bender question. A first we would just try and guess to see if we knew the answers. Then one day, Baylee dialed the number and she actually got through! We made our guess, but did not prevail. But we now try almost every morning to win what ever tickets they have to offer. (we have made it on the air 3x so far!)
My moments with Devynn are a little more sporadic. (are you surprised?) Devy still enjoys getting her hair done by mom when we have time, or getting to help in any way with cooking or school stuff. She truly has a heart of gold and laugh of life.
Trynnity has become SUPER independent and NEVER wants to sit still. But when she gets tired and is ready for cuddles time in the late evening or when she first wakes up, it is truly some of the best hugs and kisses you could get! And though she is the third and I do know how fast time goes by, I am still amazed at how much she has grown. My eyes get all watery and I want to freeze time so that I can capture and hold onto each second.
Next is my lil man. Oh how my heart soars when I think about getting to hold him! He too is super wiggly and doing his own version of crawling... I have been trying to get that on video. Our time is also bedtime. He gets put down about 7:30 and LOVES for you to rub his head, back and belly. Then off to dreamland he quietly goes. He takes in everything right now; watching to see what he can get into and where he can go. His big two teeth grin is contagious as well as his giggle when he gets tickled.
Finally my husband and I get very few moments. He has now moved to the night shift: ( We recently had our 8th wedding anniversary... celebration TBA. But he does try! On his days off he goes back to trying to be with us during the afternoons and evenings, and I even get to cuddle up 2x a week. Something I am not sure if I will ever get used to.
I admire many of you that juggle all this on your own. Things are only as easy as we make them, but I am reminding myself every day to be thankful for all these moments. Because in enough time they are memories that get more distant each day. Eventually my "flakes" will fall back into place, but I am sure there will be something else to shake it up again: )
