This past weekend, I took a family friends little boy to Science City. He’s two.
Wow, I felt like I had gone through a kickboxing class! It was a lot of work and by the end of the day my feet and ankles were sore! I was constantly walking, running, watching, sweating, up the steps, down the steps, no time to sit, no time to eat, but most of all I was having so much fun.
It made me smile to see life through the eyes of a child. See what fascinates them and watching them learn, interact, and play.
I loved holding his hand and walking around. I instantly fell in love with the thought of being a mom. It was an eye opener though of how life is going to change. It’s going to be so much fun!
How fun! And what great practice! Every time I hang out with a toddler, I'm always amazed at how exhausting it is. I can only hope that as we grow in our motherhood, that we build up the stamina to keep up!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I babysit a lot for friends/ family and I have for years. And it always kicks my butt. But, it always reminds me too of why I am where I am!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! I am glad you got that little mom warm up :)

ReplyDeleteI also had an eye opener this weekend. My two 8 year old neices spent the night. Saturday morning I went down the list of breakfast items, organic cereal, wheat pancakes...... eggs. They looked at me like I was nuts. One said you dont have pop tarts. The other said you need kid food. I laughed so hard and felt like a total old nerd. We ending up eating wheat pancakes :)
You hit the nail on the head, Rach. That is exactly what being a mom is like... busy, busy, busy all the time, tired, sore, but all totally 100% worth doing it every single day over and over again. You're going to be AWESOME at it! :)
