Being the mami of a toddler and an infant means…
- that you get less sleep than anyone else in your household.
- that you get to bathe less than anyone else in your household.
- that by the time you get to eat, your food is cold.
- that it takes you 2 hours to get ready and leave the house and by the time you leave the kids look great, but you are covered in spit up and baby shit suspicious mustard-colored stains.
- that when you go visit family or friends you will spend most of the time holed up in a room trying to get your kids to nap because they are over-tired and grouchy.
- that when the kids finally fall asleep you will still be stuck in the room because the only way you could get them to nap was by letting them lay on top of you and you don’t dare move for fear of waking them and having to start the process all over again.
- that even though you are missing out on all the fun the other adults (including your husband) are having, you don’t mind one bit because you know you are right where you need to be and your babies will not be babies for very long and right now you get to feel their warmth and smell their still sweet breath and be amazed that you are the only person in their lives that can bring them so much comfort.

I like the last definition! I don’t think any
prospective moms think about all the work and sacrafice it actually takes to raise children. I know when I day dream about babies, I think of the snuggling and the sweet baby smell ha ha not reality at all, that’s why it’s called a day dream. ha ha I love Winnie the Pooh items for babies, so sweet.
Happy Mother’s Day! I love when my kids fall asleep on me.
That baby time is so sweet, precious, and much too short.
Happy Mother’s day to you!!

You’re right, they are not babies forever – I know.

Too too true but the snuggles are worth it!

Being Mom is the toughest job it’s true, BUT boy take it from me (just a Dad) you’ll miss these days when they go off to college someday. It happens so quickly, so don’t blink – just enjoy every minute of the BEST roller coaster ride of your life! W.C.C.
Happy Mother’s Day : ) enjoy your day!
That is very sweet – Happy Mami’s Day 🙂

Mothers are over worked and under appreciated. The older I get, the more I appreciate my own mom. I hope your special day is……special.
