This past Monday all three kids had pink eye, so I had to unexpectedly stay home from work with them...all of them. I was, admittedly, a bit grumpy about it. I love my kids, but getting back into a routine after the holidays has been tough, and some days Mama's just got to get out of the house.
But then something happened. While the boys were playing/fighting downstairs, Sydney sat with me at the table while I finished breakfast, and I looked at her. Like really actually looked at her while she was chatting away, hands wrapped around her mug of tea, and she looked so grown up. It seems like just yesterday she was born, and here she is, well on her way to becoming a young woman. I was simultaneously remembering what she was like as a baby and picturing her 20 years from now, hopefully still wanting to sit across from me and chat over a cup of tea.
My beautiful baby girl ~
