This past month has been the easiest with 2 kids thus far. And when I say easy, I mean we have a good daily routine and weekly rhythm going. It's busy. It's loud at times. It's full of tears and "boo-boo's", giggles and laughter. I take deep breaths, say little prayers, and move forward to handle tough moments. And I am learning to soak in each day, soak in moments of sweet sayings from my 2 year old-"sorry mommy" after he has yelled at me- and first giggles from my littlest. I'm learning to be still and sit on the floor and play with my babies in the midst of laundry piled high around me and dirty dishes in the sink. Because the dishes will be there tomorrow but these sweet moments with my babies pass quickly.
This past month I have had a conviction and calling to embrace this season with as much JOY as possible. I'm learning to not define my day as "good" or "bad" based on whether my toddler threw a fit or not (which is a daily occurrence!), but rather am looking for precious moments where I see kindness in his heart, silliness in his personality, and love for his brother. When I focus on moments and remember the big picture that this season will quickly pass, I find so much peace, contentment and joy.
