While currently experiencing them with 2 toddlers, I have come up with my...
Top Ten Things I LOVE / HATE About The Toddler Years:
1. I LOVE the fact that my son wants to snuggle and hug on me because I know that soon he won't want to!
2. I HATE the fact that both of my toddlers already hate school and they are still in daycare!
3. I HATE the fact that they already pester each other and fight. I thought that didn't begin until at least 10!
4. I LOVE the fact they like to do chores! I know it won't last long so I am enjoying it now!
5. I HATE the fact that my princess is still in diapers even though I always heard that girls and second children are faster to potty train!
6. I LOVE the fact that they are learing something new every day and that I get to watch them as they discover new things!
7. I HATE the fact that I don't get to stay at home with them and watch them discover every new thing!
8. I LOVE the fact that my children already know about Jesus at this young age!
9. I HATE the fact that I can't give them as much single attention as I would like. I know they are both attention hungry and I thank grandparents and great-grandparents for giving them one-on-one time that they need!
10. I LOVE the fact that God has blessed me with this cute, tiring, stressful, WONDERFUL little family!!
"Children are an inheritance from the Lord.
They are a reward from him.
The children born to a man when he is young
are like arrows in the hand of a warrior.
Blessed is the man who has filled his quiver with them
They are a reward from him.
The children born to a man when he is young
are like arrows in the hand of a warrior.
Blessed is the man who has filled his quiver with them
He will not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the city gate."
Psalm 127:3-5
Love this list! It is so true. AK is right there with Addyson on the diaper thing! She REFUSES to potty.
