Here we are in September?! I think this year is flying by more quickly than any year ever has. Having five children, all in such different stages of life, means that there is more going on in every minute that I could ever have imagined. Some days are really hard and intense but most days are centered around a lot of joy.
Our baby has added so much happiness to our family. I honestly have never had a baby that was actually healthy. All my babies have had severe acid reflux and colic and lip and tongue ties and the list goes on. This baby though, she is mostly just happy, she wants to be cuddled and talked to but she does not scream in pain. She smiles and coos and we are so blessed to have her. Right now she is in the most easy stage of life for me. She can nurse well, she is chubby, she has no teeth, she is not crawling, but she can roll and sit up, she is waving and smiling and says mama. It is beyond adorable.
Since it is September that means school has started and this year is my biggest yet. I have a little kindergartener. He is LOVING learning. I also have a grade four child, a grade seven child and a grade ten child. Each day is like a race to try to help everyone stay on track and get everything done. We are two weeks in though and things are starting to fall into place. It is pretty great.
I did not garden at all this year, I did not cook or bake, I have barely dressed in any clothes other than 'house clothes' and I have not left my house much. However I have been doing a lot of really worthwhile, behind the scene things, constantly. Being a mom that stays at home every day is a challenge. Being a mom that stays at home and homeschools is even more challenging.
So I am awesome basically
And so are you :)
Have a great Autumn.
