She also uses my iPhone more then me (she is even a fan of Mach Dice since Daddy doesn’t have any toddler games or video’s on his phone, she plays with it instead), makes calls, initiates chats and responds to emails inadvertently, and oh, who am I, my identity has been totally lost, I am Holly’s Mom! that’s who I am.

Which friends told you that it only seems like’ forever before you get a moment to yourself and have your life back? have I mentioned it has been 23 months and 13 days since the last time I knitted, and never mind even thinking of going back to ceramics, maybe when she is three or four we can do a mommy and me ceramics class together, let me know at what age this so called free time starts again, please also note the time of this post 4:00 AM the only time of day I get a few hours to myself, assuming she isn’t sick, or fussing, or waking up in the middle of the night which she still does on occasion.

But then again I have a sensory seeking, movement motivated super active temperament kid, maybe yours will be more laid back, enjoy these moments where all they do is lie there and look up at you and drool and coo and blink and smile, they go by fast and before you can blink you are chasing them through the park so they don’t get smacked in the head by the swing they so desperately want to ride on but another kid is having a turn with.

But I digress, you are in the thick of it now, so I hope I haven’t scared you, all the above, and this is still the best thing that ever happened to me, and as exhausted as I am every day, I smile and laugh in awe more times then I can count in an hour, and I wouldn’t change her for the world.
