I decided that the easiest way to catch up on the last while would be to tell you a few reasons why it is so incredibly wonderful to have a 2-year-old in the Fall--
First teaching how, and then spending hours tromping and kicking through the fallen leaves in our driveway.
Blowing the last of the dandilions into the wind, and watching Reese lick the stray fluffs that stick to her lips and then pronouncing them, "Yummy!"
Taking time to examine rolly-pollies (a.k.a. potato bugs)
Screaming, knocking things over and eventually killing GI-NORMOUS spiders that find their way into our house and then watching Reese mimic all of my actions the next day (AHH! Mama- isss a SPIDE!) and then proceeding to whollop her own imaginary intruders.
Collecting chestnuts from the ground to give Melese and Kyle each morning before our workout
Eskimo kisses- lots and lots and lots of Eskimo kisses.
Pretending to be 'ghosties' chasing each other around the house
Basically, I just feel like a big kid again, which is tons of fun. So with all the stress and increasingly frazzled nerves I'm acquiring as the mommy of a very active two-year-old, I'm delighted to report that I'm also extremely happy and have never enjoyed life more!
Nothing like a hyper toddler to remind you that life is not a never-ending list of to-do's, but actually the most awe-inspiring, purely blissful journey we'll ever take!
