That's how I describe life right now. In this season with 3 kiddos 4 and under there is not much downtime.
On Tuesday, Eli had some quiet time with me on the couch. We snuggled (which I love) and as soon as we both got comfortable, Hannah cried out so I slid Eli over and picked her up and she rested her head on me watching the movie. A few minutes later I heard Suzi, so I slid Hannah over next to Eli and went and got Suzi. I fed her, she fell back to sleep, I laid her back down, came back out and life was back into full gear.
I love it when my children are sleepy. They are so snuggly and super sweet. But it does seem sometimes I put one down just to pick up another.
This morning I woke up early before everyone else...to shower.
I know it should have been to spend time with Jesus. But, alas I showered.
If I'm not giving a hug because someone got their feelings hurt, or helping one off the potty, I'm feeding or rocking to sleep.
And that's only when we are at home.
It really is priceless time and I'm basically writing this post so I don't forget these days, but at this moment I'm tired.
It's hard to get everyone in the same picture. 😊
Lord,
Help me enjoy these days so I can remember them with fondness. Even though I love who my children are becoming and all they get to do my heart aches for the slow-paced days of baby snuggles. Thank you for entrusting me with these little loves.
