Hear that? Me neither. It's miraculously silent. Both girls are napping. My afternoon to do list remains untouched and instead I prioritized recognizing the small part of baby left in Genevieve that needed to be held until she fell asleep. She had a full throttle morning of bike riding, sand box digging, and playing with Stella, ending in a really good skinned knee. I watched her sleep for a bit before crawling out from under her warm self. Her plump lips and chipped front teeth and crazy long eyelashes.
During her early baby months and into toddlerhood I was always looking forward to the next thing, wanting her to hit another milestone. Now that she is sneaking up on four with a little sister on her heals I feel myself wanting it all to slow down. So sometimes I need to slow down too. Hold my girl as long as she needs me to and be at peace with where we are now.
