I’m pretty sure all those earlier parenting challenges were preparing me for today. These days of parenting a teenager. EVERYTHING feels multiplied!!
I never imagined anything could fill my heart like chubby little cheeks and diapered little bottoms and drooly little smiles and teeny little feet covered in footed pajamas.
For I know one day very soon, my teenager will be gone. And my baby will walk through the door a grown man. Still the love of my life. What a gift! I never knew this kind of LOVE existed.
I'm pretty sure no mom ever had Teenager Fever...But I have bigger kids now. One is officially a teenager and one is a hot-on-his-heels tween.
That's the ultimate goal, right? To do our very best and love them like crazy and just enjoy these fleeting Kid Years as best we can???
