Lucky Momma

I feel so lucky that I get to call these three little munchkins mine. Is being a mom easy? No. Some days are harder than others, but each day is so rewarding. 

I keep a running list of Stone quotes. You may have noticed by now that the kid is full of things to say. A lot of his sayings get posted on Facebook, and one day I plan to do something fun with all of his quotes. But sometimes, he'll say things or do things that run my patience dry, but by the time the evening rolls around, and I begin telling Cliff the things he has said or done, I'm laughing at that point, and then when he's sleeping so peacefully, I start to feel guilty for having been mad about some of them. I often have to remind myself he is FIVE. And I will miss these days. I know I truly will.

Emerson is our sensitive one. Her feelings get hurt when you just barely raise your voice to her. And she is also our very polite one. Last night, she kept coming out of her room. I told her she needed to go back in her room and stay in there. Her response? "No thank you." She stayed the night at my friend, Julie's, while we were in the hospital with Knox. She said the same thing to her when Julie said it was time to get ready for bed. At least she has manners, right? She is also very obedient when she doesn't have Stone pushing her in the other direction. 

Knox is looking like a twin brother of Stone, 5 years later. I will need to post some comparison pictures soon so you can see for yourself. I remember during the first couple of weeks of Stone and Emerson's lives, I wondered what they would look like when they were older. What they would act like. What their little personalities would bring to our family. This time around, I have a better idea of what he might look like. Knox looks just like Stone did as a 3 week old. But in the last few days, he has really started to develop his own look.

These three littles make our lives so fulfilling. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, how could people NOT want this?
