Being a kid is the greatest...I have come to this conclusion lately. You get to play ALL OF THE TIME, your parents take care of you, feed you, wash your clothes, take you places...your greatest worry is what toy to pick to play with.
My kiddos live in a world where cars with faces hang out with barnyard animals...
And really...does it get any better than trains, cars and trucks with happy smiley faces?
We build tents...not the best I have ever made but the boys LOVED it!
They carry around their blankies...
...and make silly faces...being a kid is just plain fun!
It makes me wonder why we are in such a hurry to grow up. My whole life I was always looking one step ahead. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I went to school on the same campus K-12 and could see all of the older kids on a daily basis. In elementary school I just couldn't wait to be in middle school...in middle school I saw the "cool" high school kids from afar and thought I would never get there...in high school I couldn't wait for college. I loved being at Baylor but at times I thought how awesome it would be when I graduated and was out on my own...to get married and have kids.
And then I had Ethan and Evan and all of a sudden I want time to slow down. I want life to just stay as it is right now. I know life is so very short and there is absolutely nothing I can do to make the boys stay the age they are now {we are on our way to two...how is that even possible!?!}.
So...I am enjoying every moment...
the playtime...
the smiles...
the tears...
even moments when the dogs have tried my every patience.
I am cherishing every single day just watching my kids be kids.
