I've Realized.......

Having two kids I've realized many things............

I've realized that two kids coming from the same two parents can be so different

I've realized that I will never get tired of seeing that happy gummy smile of Camden's or Alex's "squinty smile

I've realized that my 3 year old cracks me  up with the things she says

I've realized that I can no longer leave Camden on his mat for more than 3 minutes because he may end up halfway across the room (and he'll be playing with electricity right Titi???) **  (see picture below)

I've realized that no matter how hard I try, persuading Alex to use her "inside voice" while Camden sleeps is nearly impossible

I've realized that by putting Camden in his crib to nap (which I have done the past two days) he actually gets a normal 1.5-2 hour nap instead of a 30 minute cat nap because said 3 year old woke him up

I've realized that I really do love having two kids.............and then some days I realize that I am crazy for thinking I may want 3

I've realized that when I am asking Alex to practice patience I need to practice it myself (with her)

I've realized that Alexandra just really loves her brother and I love seeing her shower him with hugs and kisses

I've realized that some days I may not get a shower until 1 PM and that's ok because I've chosen to spend some quality time with my kids instead of worrying about myself

I've realized that Alexandra and Camden are growing up way too fast!!!

 

Although he is not crawling he can make his way across a room
