When My Kids Are a Little Bit Bigger.....


When my kids are a little bit bigger.....
  • I'll get a little more sleep
  • I'll be able to take a shower every day
  • I might even get around to cleaning my shower
  • I'll be able to remove the baby gate from the kitchen entrance
  • I won't be the owner of 8 assorted car seats
  • I won't have to escort someone to the bathroom 75 times a day
  • I won't have to leave the lights on all over my house so that people can sleep
  • I won't have to figure out how to hold hands with 6 people when I only have 2 arms.
  • I won't have to use the semi-truck sized 3-seater shopping cart at Target
  • I won't have to buy milk 6 gallon jugs at a time

But when my kids are a little bit bigger there won't be as much....


  • hand holding
  • or cuddling
  • or people sitting on my lap
  • or kissing bumps and bruises
  • or bedtime giggles
  • or early morning snuggles
  • or matching outfits
  • or blowing on bellies
  • or watching animated Disney movies
  • or dancing in our jammies before bed
  • or silliness for the sake of being silly

PLEASE, don't let them get any bigger.  I'm not quite ready yet!

Just wait until you have teenage boys. You'll be buying more than 6 gallons of milk at a time :-)
