Tantrums and two year olds...

  

This is the face of my sweet, lovable two year old when she found out we were out of suckers! 
I still maintain my belief that three is much more difficult than two, but there are moments...

I have been thinking a lot on how quickly these days go.  I remember days when the boys were all under 7 (all 5 of them) and I didn't think I was going to make it.  Now having a toddler again reminds me to cherish each moment, even the tantrum ones, if possible!  I will pat myself on the back a little because I think I have done a pretty good job living in the moment with my family.  Like when everyone was happy to be at the park together.  I would play kickball with the boys knowing that the day would come when the older ones would no longer want to do that anymore.  So I made sure to have as much fun with them as possible and I still do.  Video gaming together has replaced the kickball, and Facebook chats are done almost as much as one on one chats!
Now that Sara Kate has joined our crew though, we are getting on the floor more to play the matching game, have tea parties, and spending more time outside watching her slide and jump on the trampoline.  Kickball will happen again, I'm sure! 

This is her face after reassuring her that we will get more suckers when we go to the store!!! 

CHERISH EVERY MOMENT!
