Im Going to Miss This! | Northern Virginia Child Photographer

There are days when silence is really all I want.  After getting two boys up, dressed, teeth brushed, hair combed, fed, back packs finalized, out the door, and on the bus all in 20 minutes, I just want to sit in silence. But that never happens.  There is still one more little person to tend to.  One more little person who asks and does and loves and needs.  She is my princess.  Some days I just wish I could have five minutes to catch up on the news or answer client messages.  Just five minutes to drink hot coffee, shower, or even go to the bathroom alone.  But she needs me just as much as she wants me ALL MORNING LONG.  Today as we did what we usually do…read, drink smoothies, gymnastics, write and color, and LAUGH….I realized again, that THIS. IS. IT.   She is my last baby and next year they will all leave together and they will all come home together. And I will wish for one more day for her to be home and “play”.   The thought of that today was sad and not at all a relief as I thought it would be.

I love being a Mom to my three monkeys.  I am blessed and grateful to be at home with them even though sometimes I miss working with adults.  I love putting my kids on the bus, getting them off the bus and helping out in their classrooms when I can.  I love this time with my sweet girl and I am going to do my best to hold on to it as tight as I can because they will be gone so fast.

I think today, I needed this more than she did and it made my soul very happy.
