Screaming babies both demanding attention, mountains of bottles, pumping parts, postpartum body, raging hormones.
Snack cup demands, running in opposite directions, refereeing WWE matches, tantrums.
As soon as I thought I made it through the intense stage of having two babies….now I have two toddlers. A whole. New. Basket. Of. Chaos.
But with every tantrum over nothing choices that are very important to toddlers, I am met with more love, snuggles, sweet words and new discoveries. For every boundary that is pushed, I am met with curiosity and their enthusiasm of new discoveries. And no matter how much chaos, mess, or toys get thrown, I still can’t help watching them while they sleep. Breathing in their toddlerhood. Tearing up because one day they’ll have lives away from home.
So I remind myself to be present. In every moment, good or bad. Chaotic or calm. Messy or clean.
So soak it in Mamas. Drink your probably cold coffee and marvel at these little people that you teach about the world but who also teach us about the world.
Enjoy your babies, these moments and your cold coffee before it gets spilled.
