It won't be like this for long...

I've been at home for the past two days...ice, snow, sleet days.  It's been lovely!  It makes me wish for Winter Break even more. :-) My little one and I have been making a card for Santa, making a card for Daddy, building with blocks, wrapping Christmas gifts, baking muffins, playing in the little bit of snow, and painting toe nails.  We probably also did a dozen other things as well, with the attention of a 2 year old...haha.

That's right...2.  Since obviously I've had another epic fail at blogging, my fire cracker of a lady is now 2...actually 2 years and 4 months.  Hmmm, and we've bought a house, renovated and moved in within 2 weeks of closing with lots of help, and 3 days after we moved in...we found out we are expecting again! :-) Good thing it's a 3 bedroom house!

Anyways, back to our ice, snow,  weather days...So my fire cracker is constantly getting "boos", and as she fell out of her booster at the table when I tried to get her out (because we are Miss Independent), she of course got a "boo".  And what did she want? A kiss from momma.  That's it!  Just a simple kiss. :-)  Now this is a constant scene in our home....kisses for boos.  So maybe it's the pregnancy hormones or cabin fever, but it hit me...how truly amazing, sweet, words just can't describe that I can fix her biggest problems with some loving! I know it won't be like this for long.  One day, she'll have bigger problems....but I'm not ready for those yet and certainly am not going to think about them.  I think these simple days are a blessing from above.  And I thank The Lord for these days, as well as the sweet little girl that I get to call mine.

So, as all of this hit me yesterday, I realized I don't want to forget these days.  One day when there are bigger problems, I'm going to want to read about these days.  These small but oh so memorable moments...which got my brain racking for a way to remember...a Facebook post?  No, I'm already "that mom".  So I kept thinking...and today I was led back to my blog.  This time I have motivation. :-)

If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long."
