100% real life this morning. Rooster hair, toddler in tow to calm a screaming 3yo, oatmeal on the stove, and bag packed ready to jet to the beach to switch up our usual morning routine. Feeling weirdly peaceful.
After getting our 1yo down my 3yo was resisting going to sleep and asked me to wear her to down. I was already frustrated and generally over the bedtime cuddling and ready for some kid free time but as she pleaded I was reminded that she might not ask for me forever…and if she does then I’ll probably come running. Learning to find a balance between having both of our needs met is endless, I’m learning to just trust my compass.
