Today most people would think I was crazy....I actually loved it. While three of my children were in school I had Kortney (2), Cassie (15 months) and Kailey (22 months) here. A normal Wed except for I had an extra today - Audrey (4 months). The day was great. The three toddlers wandered around playing, stoped for a snack, played, sleepted and played some more. Other then the odd fight over a toy and trying to keep diapers on Kortney and Kailey (another story) the day goes by smooth.
A friend of mine was needing someone to look after her baby today so naturally I said yes. I have to say I LOVE the baby stage. They're just so precious and innocent and cute. I could have held her all day but I had to fight with the other kids to have my turn! Once Kaitlin and Dawson came home my turn ended quickly. I love the way small children and toddlers are drawn to babies and are naturally wanting to care for them. Today while Audery was crying I had the three toddlers all trying to hand me the baby's toys and blanket. I can't quite understand the mom's I met who can't wait for their babies to get older and out of the baby stage. I know some of you will be laughing at me wondering when the next one is coming here.....Well sadly I have to say I'm done. I know I've said this before but this time I'm sticking with it. I love being pregnant and the baby stage but they grow up so darn fast. Before you know it you end up with a little child who is stubborn and knows what they want and don't want. That's when I get frustrated. The babies are so easy it just doesn't last. I know I don't have the patience for another one although I wish I did. I'd love to be one of those mother's who seem to have it all together with patience to spare, but by the end of the day I'm counting the minutes before bed time.
For now I just have to enjoy the baby time I get with other people's and move on to the next stage of my life.....
