Things I never want to forget

I have not done one of these in a while so I thought I would update the list to the things I want to remember. These blogs have taken a different meaning lately because Shane and I have decided we are done having kids. We may look into adoption or Foster care down the road but for now we are done with babies. It is bittersweet. Exciting to be moving on to the next stage of our lives and sad the baby stage is ending, I always loved being pregnant. So I think doing these type of blog posts will help me remember all the fun baby things.

1. I never want to forget the sound a diaper makes on a moving babies bum.
2. I never want to forget how soft baby skin and hair are.
3. I never want to forget the way by boys look at each other (they are totally in love).
4. I never want to forget how sweet it is to hear Tristen say new words.
5. I never want to forget how excited Connor gets when he does something new.
6. I never want to forget how sweet fish kisses are.
7. I never want to forget how sweet it sounds when Tristen says sorry.
8.  I never want to forget how peaceful a sleeping baby looks.

It is truly amazing how fast babies grow up. To me it just seems like Tristen was born, and now he is 2 and a little boy. It can be hard in the daily routine to take time and really treasure those moments but when I look into those boys smiling faces it freeze time for just a moment and in those precious moments i say my thanks for my blessed life.

Wonder Woman

Why is it as Mom and Women we have to be a jack of all trades. We have to be able to be soft and affectionate for our husbands and kids, Hard and mechanical to be able to teach and discipline our kids (and sometimes husbands LOL), Smart, Sensitive, a good listener, a coach, a cheerleader, a nurse, a cook, a maid, and a handyman all rolled into one.

What the crazy part is we are made to be this way. Nature knew that Women had to be everything to everyone so we were made to be that way. We are programed to multi-task. I can play two totally different games with each boy and not skip a beat. Shane on the other  hand would not be able to do this and not because he doesn't want to but because he cannot. Men's brains are not programed to multi-task like Women are.

I learned in a Bio college course that Women's brains have a bigger Hypothalamus which is our multitask "organ". The hypothalamus connects the left and the right brain and the bigger the hypothalamus the more multitasking you can do.

The human body is so amazing, to me it is hard to believe that all of this is because of nature. It  makes me believe there is more to life than just random acts and it all has a purpose.
