In an effort to remind myself of the
joys,
rather than the woes of being the mom, I'm starting a new post thread about the things I think I'll miss one day when the kids are grown.
(I got this idea from the neatest blog and from the blog linked to the above button. Play along if you'd like! I'd love to read about what you'll miss.)
Someday I'll miss listening to the
endless daily conversations between children that are so insignificant to my adult mind but so terribly
important to their little minds, like this one between little Miss S and Kolby: "Can I please hold your rock for five minutes? I promise I'll give it back. If you just let me hold your rock for five minutes, I'll be your best friend and I'll invite you to my
birthday." {Sidenote: they are literally standing among thousands of rocks. We have no shortage of rocks in our neighborhood, but for some reason, only
this one will do.}
This boy cracks me up. Today when I saw him on his bike, dressed like this, I RAN for the camera. He wears this all the time, especially when we go to public places and I forget he's wearing it and I hear people snickering and whispering and think they're laughing at ME! Kolby asks me several times a day if he can grow up to be Batman. What do you say to that? I usually say yes because I think it's cute (and because I'm just plain tired of the question,) and inevitably one of his brothers is there to say, "NO HE CAN'T! BATMAN'S NOT REAL!" And then we have to have a deep discussion about the reality of superheros. Sigh. I know, I know, I'll miss this some day.
