We won't lie, this chapter in life with three young children including a beautiful yet clingy and whiny baby, has been tough. The good news is we know that it will be over before we know it and I couldn't be luckier to have the absolute best partner at my side, every single step of the way. As I reflect on the everyday moments that seem so normal and mundane in life like packing lunches for three every single day, I know in a blink of an eye, they will be gone and replaced by the next chapter in life.
Kitchen drawers, counters, shelves and a dishwasher filled with kids' stuff.
Baby high chairs, training wheels at bike rodeos, cleaning out lunch boxes every day and being hunched over a wobbly toddler in the pool.
Cribs and pack-n-plays when we travel, doctor well-visits every few mo than, cars packed to the brim when we travel and trying to keep hats and sunblock on three kids in the sun.
Hand feeding children, baby ponytails, easily piling 2-3 kids in a bed when we travel and baby monitors.
Major clean-ups after all meals, worrying about kids in busy parking lots, parent-teacher conferences and this view of our backseat.
We are trying to consciously enjoy every moment of life.
