Five Things Us Mamas Of Littles Want You To Know
While we love all of our friends & family TONS, we can't always
get out to everything in this (short) but incredibly busy season.
We hope that you understand our declines are
not indicative of our affection towards you.
We love you all. Very, very much :)
2) Everything that we do takes a WHOLE LOT longer than usual!
It used to take me a few minutes to zip in & out for a quick
milk pick up at the grocery store.
Not so much anymore..
The grocery lists
are longer, and way more complicated than ever before.
They often include formula, baby food, wipes and
diapers now in the mix.
On top of that, my littles often shop with me. When they do
just double the time for our shopping excursion.
It often becomes THE excitement of the day.
On second thought, with diaper changes included, triple that time line!!!
3) We love & appreciate any adult interaction!
While singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" umpteen times is fun with our tot,
it doesn't replace the adult conversation we often crave.
None of us would want to replace this precious season or want to seem
like we are complaining...
However, if I seem a tad bit TOO eager to chat with you when I'm "out", then please,
please can you indulge me a few minutes? ;)
....even if babies & their constipation issues aren't that exciting!
4) If you don't have any littles, we'd love an offer to come to our home!
Of course, we will retaliate when we can (fair is fair), but in this season
simply getting out the door can seem a mountain so large & daunting
that we'll often say "pass" instead of explaining the real reason....
And if you do kindly come visit us at our place, please don't mind the mess ;)
I have walked up to friends that I've known for years, and blanked....
super embarrassing.
And twice over this past month I've
blanked on which day of the week it is, and what we have planned.
I know where all the diapers & wipes in the house are (usually).
I know the last time my baby & tot took a nap.
But I can't always recall who you are, how old I'm turning in a few months, or
most of the theories I learned in university. Ooy.
