Tonight as I am getting Lexi out of the bath, I wrap her up and put her on my lap and give her a kiss on her forehead.
She looks up at me with her big eyes and says "I'm not gonna be this tiny forever".
I say I know and it makes me sad because she just keeps growing. But she comforts me and says "But I'm gonna be little when I grow up so that you will always be happy. And I will stop eating all those yucky things that make me grow big so you will be happy".
I just love her little mind.
It's been a long weekend without TJ and I am tired and exhausted and I am so ready for him to be home. But it's conversations like that with Lexi that seem to make all the stress and chaos subside and I realize how lucky I am to be a mother to these little kids. They won't be tiny forever and even though it is hard I love having these BIG little families.
