:clap: :clap: :clap: That's right, it takes teamwork. GO TEAM!!!!!! In the a.m. I am usually the one to rouse the little sleepy heads, change them, get their breakfast started, pack their bag for school, get their socks and shoes on, get them buckled into their seats, take 'em to school... ...in the p.m. I pick 'em up from school, take 'em home and turn on something to distract them while I make supper for the kiddies, feed 'em if the dish is too messy, clean up after them, start the bath for them, dry and dress them, help brush their teeth and help put them down one-by-one. I usually have less than two hours from the time I pick them up from school to the time I start laying the little sleepy heads down. Very busy p.m.
admittedly, it's more fun to make 'em :lol: but you all know what the rewards are...those little moments when you're with the child...tickling, playing, singing, laughing, peek-a-boo, etc. New parents, however often they might say they no longer have a life...having a little angel fall to sleep on your lap and other experiences should reveal to you that you've never before had a fuller life. I wish sometimes they didn't have to grow up
I wish they didn't have to grow up either Enjoy every single exhausting minute they are too big in a blink of an eye
Love that every time I read it! They do grow up very fast...can't believe my 'babies' are 9yrs and 5yrs old.
