Baby Angel Face

When the twins were 2, I don't remember much, other than trying to survive each day. I know I enjoyed them and watching them together has always been hilarious, but I won't lie, it was hard. Now having a 2 year old singleton, I am honestly enjoying and loving this stage of life to the max. Yes, there are dishes in the sink, laundry is piling up, toys are everywhere, and the whole house could use a good cleaning, but there is something more important- there is a 2 year old who wants me to help her feed her "babies", then burp them, change them, put them to bed, then do it all over again...ten times. Now that the twins are almost 6, I understand that time goes by FAST and these few years before they start school are so precious. Yes, I am slightly embarrassed when people stop by and see my wreck which I call "home" but how do I say "no" when a blonde beauty is looking me in the eyes with her arms out asking me to "lay down" so she can put her arms around me, "tuck" me in, give me kisses, and pretend snore?

"Cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow, children grow up as I've learned to my sorrow. So calm down spider webs and dust go to sleep, cause I'm rocking my babies and babies don't keep."

Today while J and I were "pretend sleeping," she also had her baby Cinderella doll with her. She told me "my baby Cinderella." Being a beautiful little tow-head, I told her she was my "baby Cinderella." She looked at me and said, "No momma, I'm Baby Angel Face." I have called her Angel Face before (her middle name is Grace so it rhymes) and apparently she remembers. Can I just bottle up these moments and keep them forever??

"Cleaning house when kids are little is like brushing your teeth while eating oreos."

Time goes by too fast. Let's enjoy each moment my friends!
