How to slow things down

I've been having a huge issue with trying to make things in my day go fast so I can get to the next. I feel like since I left work that I'm just waiting for something to happen. What that is, I don't know, but my frame of mind is go fast. I know I need to slow down, enjoy what I have in front of me because so many other moms would love to be where I am. Don't get me wrong-I LOVE being home. I can't even believe this little man is already 3.5 months old!!

He rocked his first pair of bibs today!! 

This is when I realize I've got to slow down. It's ok if I don't always clean something. I don't have to always be doing something to entertain the girls. They do that on their own! I need to stop, sit, play and listen to them. Today they did this with their books:

I asked Iz what they were doing. She told me it was their house! 

And who cares If they pick every single grape off and make trials and put them in their toy watering can. Creativity and healthy!

Small things like this I just love. They're using their hard thinking skills and learning how their world works around them. 

For instance at the library today, Viola insisted she needed a drink. One of the volunteers must have heard her and he helped her. It was so sweet-she wasn't afraid-she got her water. Picking the battle as my mom would say.

Other than small fights, altercations or whatever you want to call them, it was a good day. We had a movie night. We (Ryan included) watched Ratatouille (yes I spell checked that one!). 

We had popcorn and lots of snuggles. Iz fell asleep in my lap. She isn't feeling the best today. 

And here I sit waiting on Viola to fall asleep like every night. This is by far the hardest part of my day, but I know it won't last forever. She will be the teen that you have to drag out of bed!!! 

Slow down time!! 

How can you NOT love his face! And these:

As annoyed as I can get I just have to stop, breath (sometimes nap), and look at what's around me and the example I'm setting! I hope I'm doing ok because some days I really doubt myself! 

Until tomorrow :-)
