Soooo, I've been posing. Posing as a young mom of toddlers. Posing as a mamma whose biggest worry is what brand of underwear to buy that can fit both the 2 and the 4 year old.
I'm reliving my Young Momdom. I didn't enjoy it as much as I should have the first time around.
The first time around I didn't have a clue. I mean I really, really didn't have a clue. The fact that babies drooled was a surprise to me with my first child. When my two oldest children were 4 and 2 years old I did actually Worry about what brand of underwear to buy.
This week my 4 yo is the big boy. My 2 yo is wearing underwear. Both boys are glowing with health. I get to talk about names of body parts and read 3 million story books. I get to walk holding each boy's still chubby hands as we run errands. Though I am somewhat puzzled as to why both my boys are each wearing one weight-lifting glove...
Next week? That's cheating. I'm going to try to only unwrap one present at a time. Actually I'm about to go clean up a potty accident.
Tuesday's Unwrapped is a great place to visit. Someday, I hope to always live unwrapping just one day at a time.

I have the older/younger kids, too. Although my younger is now 8. I know of what you speak. Isn't it great to get a do-over?
How wonderful to have such precious time with them, now that you "know now what you wish you knew then". :) Enjoy each gift-wrapped moment!
It is great Southern Gal! We tease our oldest by calling him our guinea pig child. God gave our oldest a laid-back personality to he could survive us:)
Here's to enjoying making a whole NEW set of mistakes!
This is a great post! Though I don't have younger kids anymore, I see how much calmer I am with little kids. I never realized how uptight I was about parenting... Now if I could only be so calm about my teens!
