Top 10 Things I Love/Hate About The Toddler Years

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

He will not be put to shame

when he speaks with his enemies in the city gate."

Psalm 127:3-5
