Child's play

There we were on my bed, Conner was trying to wake up from him afternoon nap which was not going well b/c he was so ornery. I had an idea. "Conner there's a monster coming." He snapped out of his ornery behavior and said, "I save you Mom, hide," and he pulled a blanket up over us to hide from the monster. "Is he still there?" "HA HA HA," Conner cackled. "I save you Mom, go away monster, HEE AW!" Then he punched the air as if he were attacking something. "I got him!" These are the moments I love! I love playing with them, I love watching them play together.

"Conner do you want to go to the movies with me?" Kaily asked Conner as she was setting up her bed on the floor to watch a video. "YEAH!" Conner squealed with delight. He loves to watch movies with his sissy. Kaily then pulled all the blankets off the bed and made a little bed on the floor for Conner and her to lie down and watch "UP". They actually slept there all night on those little beds. When they woke this morning I could hear them chatting about animals and playing zoo. It was fun to be a bystander and just listen to them play and talk.

I LOVE being a mom! There are moments that aren't so fun and moments I wish would pass by faster than others, but really I don't know what I would do without these little people. I had a moment yesterday when I realized that Kaily is going to Kindergarten soon and I remembered when she was born and how I pictured this day coming. I didn't realize then with all the crying and the tantrums and the cuteness just how fast that day would come. It has made me take more time to be with them, to enjoy them, to play with them and be a kid with them.
