Where does the Time Go ?




Wow, how time flies. Next week my baby is going to turn two. It seems like such a short time ago she was still kicking in my belly. She is such a big girl now. okay, well at least in her mind she is. She is still very tiny in size. Weighing twenty three pounds at two is not exactly giant size, but don’t tell her because she thinks she is already my size. She is so independent, but has such a sweet cuddly nature about her that absolutely makes me melt. She loves to do anything her big sister Isabelle does, and even though they squall, Ava adores her Isabelle. I sometimes try to picture my life with them as teenagers and I just can’t. The thought of them not being little and pulling on my legs or sitting on my lap makes my heart ache. I love there little voices in the morning, and even those sweet needing cries in the middle of the night when they wake up and need me because they are scared. I swear if there was a job kissing their boo boos I would do it for the rest of my life. However,I am excited about the little people they are turning into. Isabelle is getting to the age where she wants to do activities, and I am so excited about that. We start dance class this week, and in a couple weeks she is going to try horse back riding lessons. She fell in love with them a couple of years ago, at a parade. Now any chance there is a pony ride in a thirty minute distance we go. And she never wants to get off! A bit ironic, since I am scared to death of these beautiful animals, but I want her to try everything that her heart pulls her towards. It isn’t about me, after all. And I will admit that I am really excited about the memories she will have. Now the tricky part will be keeping Ava calm, cool, and collected while her big sis is riding what she thinks as a big rocking horse. Ha! Wish me luck. This could get interesting
