If you know me well, you know how much I love to cuddle and kiss on my little ones. I often remind myself to stop what I'm doing and love on my children just to take it in because I know it won't last forever. My favorite thing is to ask MaryJane "Will you please stay two?" and she loves to reply with a giggly open mouthed "No!". I'm so afraid that I will terribly miss these early years.
Sadie has been so patient, caring and sweet to me this pregnancy. On most days, when I have gotten up at 6:30 for the gym, I am worn out by 1:00. Without any fuss, during MaryJane's nap, Sadie allows me to take a little nap on the couch while she quietly colors, plays or watches Tom and Jerry.
Bless her heart. She must know how much I live for these naps!
Today during rest time, my heart was filled with so much gratitude for Sadie's easy going nature that I scooped her up, kissed her all over and asked her if she knew how much mommy loved her.
And her response, "Not very much because your kids are such a pain in the butt."
Where did she hear that?
Hmm.
She went on to tell me that because of my "big fat belly" it makes it hard for me to pick up after my kids. I better stop complaining. 6 more weeks. My poor family.
Sadie got a major tickle torture for that response. I've been laughing ever since.

You gotta love their honesty.... So cute that she lets you nap though. Wish Addie would do that for me sometimes :)
Okay, that is hysterical!! She is such a grown- up that one! I love it!! You are such a cute mommy and I like it when you hug and tickle me, too!
That is so cute!
Thank you for reminding us all stop and love our children as they grow up so fast....AND for reminding us that they hear everything!
Best wishes through these next 6 weeks.
