Nothing quite like warm days of listening to the little ones laughing and playing in the water. Splashing, jumping, running. With their faces dribbling with sweet mango. I especially love those snuggles when Urijah takes a break from playing in his mini pool. His hair smelling of the sun as I wrap his shivering little body in his favorite towel. Often he'll sit right next to me, watching the clouds and talking about his day. That kid has a good life. And so does his sissy. She now takes a good 3hrs long nap in her own bed right before lunchtime. Which means that Urijah and I enjoy two lunches because why would we let her eat on her own when we all love food!?
Once the little munchkin is up from her nap, it's go time! She's not as interested in being in the pool as big brother but she loves to explore the backyard. Walking, playing in the dirt, venturing onto the grass (this particular activity started today, she's normally afraid of walking onto the grass but it seems like the fear has been overcome, hooray Zuri!). I mustn't forget to mention that she also puts just about everything in her mouth. It is only when she's quiet that I'm alerted to check on what may be inside her little hand. Kids, you always have to be on the watch:)
Oh man how I adore these little ones. I didn't grow up dreaming of becoming a stay at home mom. And now that it's my every day reality, I feel the need to pinch myself. It's a dream come true. One that I didn't even dream for myself. While I had other plans, Heavenly Father had something better in store for me. And all I can say is thank you. Thank you for making me their mama.
