Everyone keeps telling me at work to enjoy my kids while they are this young. This is the age where their mom and dad are the center of their universe. I am trying to heed their advise. We are soaking it in. [Although I will note that I am sure my children will never grow tired of Mommy and Daddy giving them hugs and kisses as everyone says they will.]
We carpool every morning to work/daycare. In the 20 minute drive I am positive that Sydney says the word “Mom” at least 143 times. Sometimes the conversation will go like this:
Sydney: “Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom”
Me: “What?!”
Sydney: “So how is your day today?”
Me: “Fine, thank you.”
Sydney: “So what did you do today?”
Me: “Sydney, you know what I’ve done. I got ready for work and got you guys ready for school.”
Sydney: “Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom”
Me: “What?!”
Sydney: “So how is your day today?”
Me: “Fine, thank you.”
Sydney: “So what did you do today?”
Me: “Sydney, you know what I’ve done. I got ready for work and got you guys ready for school.”
Sydney: “Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom”
Me: “Yes?!”
Sydney: “I love you!”
Me: [heart melting] “I love you too!”
Did you notice how many times Steve spoke up in that conversation? Yep, I don’t know how he does it.
Better yet, Sydney has taught Halas to play the “mom, mom” game. He is like a little echo :)

Sydney will start Kindergarten in the fall. I am not ready!
