In the blink of an eye

I am sitting outside watching B1 (Bailey) play, rocking B2 (Brooklyn, and listening to music while taking a break from putting in grades that I have piled up. As if I don't have enough going on, I am starting graduate school in two weeks.

A lady in the store today told me I look great for just having a baby, that it doesn't even look like I just had one. I thanked her and told it was because with two I forget to eat, drink, let alone breath. Who needs to work out when you have young kids? I feel like I am working out all day long, even when I am working. I try to keep the attention of 23 6-7 year olds all day long and then come home to hold a baby all night while entertaining a toddler/preschooler. Good thing I like kids...

Every blog post is the same... I say I will try to be more consistant with blogging, but in all reality... it's not happening. It will happen when it happens. :)

So I blinked and Brooklyn turned 5 months old...then I realized Bailey will be FOUR in 2 months.

Bailey is still in Ballet and absolutely LOVES it. I am so glad that we signed her up. She is going to be so bummed when she realized ballet is over during summer. I want to sign her up for summer classes, but I will be in summer classes myself. She has become such an independent little girl. She now dresses herself without being asked and does her hair (brushes it and throws a headband in). She loves to wear dresses while playing outside in the dirt. She is an amazing little girl and I am so proud of the little girl she is becoming. She may be disobedient and crazy at home, but she makes sure she is respectful in ballet and at school. She definitely has her moments of sassiness, rudeness, etc. but don't we all??

Brooklyn has grown so much as well! She is rolling around the floor, trying to sit up, more interactive, and probably one of the happiest babies I have ever seen. She loves smiling at everyone, especially her big sister. I don't think there is any greater love than the love you feel when you see your children love each other. It is truly an amazing feeling.

This past week, my sister and her HUSBAND came to town and got to meet B2 for the first time. It was a great visit and I am sad to see them go. Bailey adores her Aunt so much!
