Nostalgic day

Well, I've made promises in the past to the few followers I have to blog more often and, of course, every time I have not followed through. I get so caught up in the day to day life and forget to take the time to do it until today when I finally realized how much I want to post every mundane little detail of my life, more importantly, of my girls lives. Before I know it, a year will pass and I won't remember the funny thing Mia said this morning, or the crazy thing Lilly ate(and later threw up) yesterday.

Here I am with these 2 little girls, forgetting to savor every minute I have with them and then complain that time is passing to fast. I mean, wasn't Lilly born yesterday?! How is she so big and talking so much? When did she get so grown up? How will I ever remember to tell her the crazy stories of leaving the room for 2 seconds only to come back to find her dancing on top of the kitchen table, eating rocks dirt leaves plastic anything she can get her hands on, getting a drink all by her big girl self(from the toilet after her sister forgot to close the bathroom door), dunking her shoes in the toilet, giving her baby doll a bath all by her self(again, in the toilet). How will I remember her walking around with anything that remotely looks like a phone and saying hi and carrying on a conversation or following around her big sister just to wait for her to stop so she can push her around til she screams. Or the adorable loud noises of 'mmm yumm' and sucking she makes eating anything that tastes good. How will I remember all the times she figured out if she only unplugs the modem she'll get all the attention she wants from her Daddy who she absolutely adores.

And Mia! Oh my sweet tiny baby girl... who will be 4 years old in only 4 short months. She has already reached the age of preferring to spend every second of every day with her friends instead of with me. She is starting to figure out that there are other people in the world more fun and amazing and wonderful then her own mom and dad. She has learned to repeat everything that she has heard said and asks me all the time 'why is that driver a stupid idiot mom?' or yelling at me to get in the corner when she gets mad. She has learned to no longer just trust everything we tell her and questions everything we tell her to do. How did my little tiny 5 lbs baby turn in to such a grown up little girl? Since when does she not want to have me with her every second of every day? The last 4 years has been such a speedy blur, I don't know how that girl has gotten so grown up and so smart, I still can't believe it's been so long since the first time I saw her beautiful little face.
So, the time has come that I finally give in and take the time to write these things down before I get any older and can't remember them all on my own. I already couldn't tell you half the crazy things that Mia has said and done to make Jason and I just crack up all the time and I don't want to forget anymore. Life changes and passes to fast, I don't want to forget another minute.

  1. Amen to that sister!! Blogging is fun. I write more in my blog than I do my journal. So now I think of my blog as my journal :)

  2. Lilly is such a little rascal!! and Mia is SO sweet and such a big girl! You know I'm a believer in blogging lol...and this is exactly why! It's the little stuff you don't think about writing in your journal and won't remember later that they'll want to know when they grow up, or will make you crack up when they have kids of their own. good job! : )
