They will always be my babies, no matter how big they get. That is for sure.
They are definitely not the most well-behaved children in the world. They don't play well with others always. They happen to be the hardest persons on the planet to feed, and not just because of their horrific food allergies. They wear me out on a daily basis with their whining and their wants and their unbelievable needs that never end. Addie can go from happy to down right "ticked-off" in less than 3 seconds. I have to change clothes every day after I give Hayes a bath because he manages to dump cups and cups of water on me when I turn my back. They are a hand full. I know. I do it every day, day in and day out.
As challenging as it is, having two little ones with impossible food allergies and the most stubborn personalities you will ever come across, I can't help but wish God's plan for us included just one more.....
At school, Addie's teacher's asked the students what they "loved", and then they wrote it down on a little heart and hung them outside the classroom door. Many of her classmates put "candy", or "mommy", or "toys". Addie's heart said "I love a holiday". I love that she loves "a holiday". It makes me smile to see her really enjoying these special times of the year. Tim spent all weekend cutting out the perfect little shamrocks that I painted bright green for our yard. We want her to love St. Patty's Day too! Poor Tim...does he know how many eggs I want cut out for Easter this year?
