Last night I went in and just watched Camden sleep, actually I've found myself doing this quite a bit. . .I know this seems strange--but if you are a mom I know you get it! I looked at him and thought, I can't believe you are about to be 5 years old!! 5 YEARS OLD!! It seems like only yesterday he was Evan's size, wandering around with his sippy cup and saying "Mama" & "Da-ya". . .and now here he is this little man who gets up in the middle of the night to pee, and goes down the street to play with his friends!! Looking back I never could've imagined this stage. I think with your first you just don't know what to expect, and it's so hard to imagine your baby as a kid. . .

I do watch Evan sleep too, but it's harder with him b/c he's in a crib!! :) These boys are growing so fast and it's hard for Jason and I to ever remember a time when we didn't have them, I'm pretty sure any life we had before wasn't nearly as fufilling!! As time goes by I become more thankful that I have the option of being home with them and being as involved in their schools and lives as I want and need to be.
The other great thing about watching them sleep. . .they can't talk back! ;) I had to laugh this morning when both of my kids woke up on the wrong side of the bed, talking back, screaming and crying, and basically not doing anything I asked without a fight!! All after I went to bed after gazing at my "angels" and thinking about how absolutely perfect they were. . .when they were sleeping! ;)
