Life Can Wait.

I lightly spoke about this subject on my first blog post, but I want to go more in depth about it today, because I really feel strongly about the subject of finding time for you babies! Life can wait. I even found myself failing on my own belief today, I was trying to cook and clean and get things done and the boys kept asking me to play or sit down and watch the movie and I found myself constantly saying, "Okay hold on," "One minute buddy," "I will soon mommy's busy." Busy doing what? What is so important that I can't sit on the floor, grab a transformer, and talk in my Optimus Prime voice to my three year old boys and make their day?! So I did, and suddenly, my stress over what to cook, what needs cleaned up, and what needs to be done, all faded away, all because I sat down on the floor and played robots. Talk about a win, win, kids happy and laughing because apparently i'm funny, my husband watching me from across the room as if he just fell in love with me all over again, and my stress and aggravation squished by Bumble Bees foot! You know what really gets me? My kids want to play with ME, they want to cuddle ME, they want to watch a movie with ME, their mom, ME! How special is that? Out of all the people in the world, they chose their mom to play with!  One day, all my boys are going to be off in their own little worlds, doing whatever it is they're doing, and the house is going to be quiet, no one screaming for me to fix their toy, no one tugging on my pants to cuddle, no baby cooing as I walk in the room, just silence, and when that time comes, i'm going to look back and wish I had just sat on the floor, and played, grabbed them in my arms and held them, I need to cherish it all NOW, so when that day comes i'm not wishing I had, but remembering that I DID. I have my whole life to do dishes and clean, I only have now with my kids, they're constantly growing and changing, why miss out on a single thing just to sweep my kitchen which isn't going to change or make me laugh or love on me like my kids will, and want to? What an empowering feeling to know that my kids not only have me, but they WANT me, i'm the luckiest woman in the world, and I need to live it up more than I already do!

Yeah, there's a million things needing done, but none of those things are going to feel as amazing as seeing your kids laugh at something you did, or grab your hand to hold it, nothing will be as fulfilling as seeing your baby look up at you, or your toddlers to ask for you to hold them "like a baby," LIFE CAN WAIT, kids grow too fast to put them aside for anything!
