Not winning duh! Today was one of the most challenging days of being a mother since the girls were newborns! Both Chloe and Claire are teething and both of them want to have my attention fully devoted to them. Normally I am pretty lucky as they are independent babies and don't require constant coddling for their security, they are generally secure happy children. However today was a different story and it was heart breaking for me to watch them both trying to climb up me and wanting to be held, hurting and crying and I cannot be there for both of them at the same time! Basically when this happens I feel horrible, like a bad mom but I know that I do everything I can each day and that through this experience we are learning to be more patient and self secure, all of us, and as a family. HOWEVER, I cannot wait until this teething thing is done, but I do thank my lucky stars they are sleeping through the night.
Some pics of happy moments today and yesterday (which were far and few)
Third one up sure is a little shit
ReplyDeleteDon't worry they will quit teething and beginning flushing things down the toliet, and painting walls, eventually they will outgrow that and jump on your furniture, when they tire of that they will be perpetually bored... Then comes the fun part, the teenage years..!!!
