I know all moms have the moment where they say “Oh, you looked just like your sister.” or “I remember when your brother use to do that!”. While I have 4 kids, and you would think I would say that often, after stopping to think about it, I don’t say those lines enough. I live in the moment always saying I never want to forget, but when I thought about those 2 sentences, I realized, I don’t go back enough and just “think” and “savor” those little moments like I should. I take for granted my blog books and don’t read them as often as I should.
That being said, I was reminded of one of the most laughter filled nights we have had as a family a few nights ago.
Back in the day, Charlie and Wylie were obsessed with Mr. Potato Head. One random night, our supper experiences quickly evolved into a mock new report blog that we still giggle over. Breaking News . You may remember from that post a little girl who looked like this…
Somehow these Mr. Potato Head glasses have survived and are now experiencing another Bailey Bunch toddler. Only this time, it isn’t our little diva wearing them, it appears our littlest man has claimed them as his own!
This just makes me giggle. Though it was years apart, these 2 babies wanted these glasses to do exactly the same thing. They both wanted to sport these glasses while playing at the same time and that my friends, just wasn’t going to happen. For both these loves, the tempers flared up, the tears of frustration fell and in the end Mr. Potato Head got his glasses back.
But in the meantime, I quickly snapped a picture because the moment I saw Ben putting these glasses on, my heart went immediately back to that night with Wylie.
Has it really been 3 years since I snapped that pic of Wylie? Is time really passing this quickly?
Put the brakes on friends, I am enjoying these days too much…
Who knew I would need to say thank you to Mr. Potato Head for allowing me to be reminded to stop and play more, be silly more and treasure these little moments to their fullest!
