Tonight it dawned on me that Ellie doesn't need her bed railing anymore becuase for over 2 weeks she has slept in a bed without railing - actually multiple beds - as we moved around the United Kingdom. So, while the kids played in the bath tub, I asked David to take off the railing before I made up the new bed. It is down. Ellie is officially a big girl with only one big "baby" milestone left to eliminate - The Diaper.
As I was putting Ellie to bed tonight she said, "my bed is so big now."
Each day feels like a bit of a race where I have too much that needs to be done and not enough time to just relax and enjoy the kids. As I fight this battle sometimes the days feel long and tiring. This is the worst part of motherhood. I am watching Ellie and Max grow and change so much every week and sometimes daily. My mom was so good at keeping track of milestones; this really hasn't been my fortee. However, as we hit another milestone for Ellie tonight and a big one for Max while away on holidays,I wanted to take a moment and acknowledge how amazing they really are to me, even when they pass in a hurry and a flurry like at bedtime.
