First of all, I have to say that my first Mother's Day with two born children was great! I got lovely flowers and a necklace, went to a yummy lunch at La Fogata, and enjoyed having the grandmas (and grandpas too!) over for supper.
But, as a lot of you know, being a mother isn't always easy. Yesterday Landon had such a rough day. He is usually Mr. Independent and will play with his cars, books, and puzzles so well on his own. That was not the case on Saturday. He was so clingy and whiney and nothing seemed to satisfy him for long. I was getting quite frustrated with him until we went outside and he showed me just how thoughtful a 19 month old can be. He likes flowers and wanted to pick some. So luckily we have a lot of yellow flowers throughout our yard :) and he made a 5 dandelion boquet for his daddy. He was very excited to come in and put them in water!
Emerson was in a better mood than her brother thankfully, but sometimes she gets a little too ambitious. She loves baths and got a little too anxious about taking one yesterday. She fell in the bathtub head first while it was filling up, with her clothes on! I thought about taking her picture, but I think she was pretty traumatized! :)
With all of the ups and downs of motherhood, it's pretty exciting to see your children sooo excited about everyday events like picking weeds and taking baths! It definitely makes you appreciate all the little things in life.
Unfortunately, this is the best picture of the kids and me on Mother's Day (not sure how much Emmi loves Mommy in this photo! :) )
Thought this was a cute one of the girls!On a side note, we got higher speed internet this weekend!!! So hopefully I'll update more with more pictures! :)
Yay for mom's and mom's day! I'm sorry the kids can be tough to deal with but you are a great mother and always find the positives in life. Poor Emerson, falling in the bathtub head first. Where was her mother? :) Thanks for the pictures. Keep them coming! I can't wait to see you all again in July! I love you all!
ReplyDeletei think that's a lovely photo of you and the kids on mother's day. :) what sweet kids you have been blessed with! that is too funny that emerson fell in the bathtub! you should have grabbed the camera, i'm sure that would have been a picture that would make you all laugh years later! and yay for the high speed internet. i'm looking forward to many more posts!
ReplyDeleteI love this post! It just shows what a great family you have and what a great mother you are! Well, minus the whole bathtub incident :) I would have totally taken a picture. I am the mother that left her baby face first in the couch to grab my camera of her falling over. Yeah, at least Amos was there to supervise :) Kids do have some rough moments, but the neatest thing is that their brightest moments totally outshine any bad moments they might have :) Love you!
