Mommy Moments: Transitions

( is this a Discipline moment ?or a teaching moment?..yes..I know its all a teaching moment, but please just pretend that you know EXACTLY what I’m saying ;))
He asks questions, and understands things….he remembers everything…just this week, he and I were in Home Goods, and in a moment of  craziness, I didn’t get a cart for him, he wanted to walk…he did AWESOME. He listened, and “Didn’t touch” ,  And when we walked past a tower of ceramic cake stands, that were colored in beautiful pastels, he asked, “doze ahh fwagile mama?” and looked up to me with his big blue eyes. (yes Liam. those ARE fragile) I seriously almost melted. 
I’m sad. that’s the truth. There is a big part of me, that finally gets, really GETS what everyone tells you when you are pregnant, “Enjoy EVERY single minute, it goes by in a flash” well…I’m seeing the flash now, and know that there are many flashes in my future. Its such a mix for me, so sad to see him grow up, but so incredibly, proud and in awe, of the little person he is becoming! but PS..there is NO way, I mean, even for the most laid back mama’s to enjoy EVERY minute..really?? I mean..EVERY single minute?…let’s talk about truth here mama’s, shall we?? I am, someone, who enjoys moments, I look around, I take mental snapshots, I am IN IT..I love IT..BUT,  I gotta say..its not always easy. Do I always feel BLESSED? YES! Do I always THANK GOD for this little miracle in our lives? YES!! DO I still cry, at the very thought that “he is really ours, we actually MADE him” Absolutely. I mean every single time I see a picture, or think of THAT moment, when I held him for the first time, I get choked up, and am thankful that for one moment, I was literally in the midst of a miracle taking place.
But as mama’s, working outside, or inside of the home, I think we need to give ourselves a break, surround ourselves with an amazing support system, and start to recognize when we need a break ( I mean like, a spa break, not like a, run to the store to go grocery shopping with out your child, break, although there are days that grocery shopping with out a toddler feels like a spa break!! HAHA) ).
I LOVE ,LOVE, LOVE being a mommy..I mean it, I really love it. I even feel like there should be a better, stronger, more intense, word than “love” to describe how one feels about their child, like …”EXPANSALOVESMOOCHAGOOEY” or something..right? anyway, peeps….shall we move onto something designy?? thanks for listening…feel free to comment and make me feel better, tell me your transition stories, or a more eloquent way of describing the love for your child 😉

THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS POST….we are changing Liams nursery…into a BIG boy room!!! ( wow…do you SEE the emotion one  transition evokes!)
So, here  is the beginning of my brain storming!!
