i couldn't resist this morning making a post about cole and brooklyn. mornings have been tough for us lateley (probably becuase nights have been tough). i feel like it would take about as much effort to climb mt. everest as it takes to get everyone dressed and fed in the morning without any major breakdowns - and then there's the going somewhere after that part - - - think about walking/swimming to mt. everest, then climbing it. rough. there's the two-year-old tantrum factor to consider and the fragile baby sister factor and the mommy's lack of sleep/patience factor. needless to say - life here is pretty nutty in the mornings.
this morning, however was a little different. there was still a tantrum, a little one who just wanted to be held, milk all over the high chair and the floor, cars swimming in the tray, clothes to put on, diapers to change, a tired mommy who didn't get up early enough to shower, the phone rining with friends wanting to get together (how does everybody have time for it all?) but there was one extra special minute or two when cole leaned down to spontaneously hug brooklyn and she smiled back at him and squealed. i'm so glad they love each other!
that triggered my memory of the other great things about the morning. tyler put cole in bed with me when he left and he gave me a hug. cole gave me a hug then leaned over and said "bwookin wake up! "mommy, she wakin' up!" (even though she was still asleep) "get her out mommy!" these two funny kiddos really love each other. (i worried about it for 9 months for nothing!) cole shares with her and gives her lots of hugs. her face lights up whenever he's around and she loves to watch him and talk to him. i'm so glad these two will have each other to grow up with. it brought back fond memories of growing up with my hilarious brother. we're 2 years apart and had a great time growing up together. i love him so much and am so glad to have him. i wish we could see each other more often. i'm glad cole and brooklyn will have each other just like we did. families are so wonderful!

I know how you feel, I only have one kid to look after! You are truly a super woman! I will definitely look to you for inspiration when another child gets thrown into the mix! Keep up the good work you are doing, your kids are happy, that is what matters!
Michelle -
You are an awesome mommy! Don't ever worry about not showering or getting it all done. You are raising two amazing kids who love each other and that is all the matters.
I don't know how you do it with two! Hannah has started throwing tantrums all the time too and is so needy/clingy lately. It is really hard and I have no clue what I'd do with two (though I'll find out soon enough).
Love ya,
Mel
