I admit it has been a while since my last posting, which can say something about how much motherhood has changed for me. While it's just as wonderful as it ever has been, time consumption with a 14 year old has sped up significantly, leading to a challenging balance of life, work, motherhood, and time for myself. How do mothers do it all? It's a question I constantly drive to find the answer for, and still continue to reach.
Lately, Miles has become a screamer in public, an expert at crawling on his hands and knees quicker than (sometimes) I can keep up with, a vocabulary-seeker, and thankfully still, a napper. His ability to seek attention when I'm on the phone by speaking a pitiful "mama" still melts my heart, and just when my exhaustion tests my patience, he cuddles up to my chest for a split moment so I don't go over the edge :) In a nutshell, motherhood is the secret to much of my self development and humor in my life.
Life changes for me like never before with an active toddler, and I suppose only a fellow mother can truly understand it. My son's teeth have come in and he is beginning to look more like a boy then a baby. Where has the time gone and how do I make it stop? I suppose there isn't an invention for babies that grow so quickly in front of their mother's eyes but with each day that brings new adventures between my toddler and I, I wish there was. Time moves quickly with he and I, and each day I am reminded that I must continue to live in the moment with him, with motherhood, with myself.
