I was thinking something similar yesterday as I tried to capture my toddler saying her version of "ball" on video. It's my favorite word of hers and I know that one day she'll say ball "right" and I'll miss her drawn out version. I make a point not to correct her repeatedly as I've heard some parents do...and just enjoy her cute toddlerisms!Guestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760301880687498036.post-71530772012612608232009-05-14T03:29:00.001-04:002009-05-14T03:29:00.001-04:00Very needed reminder.

But it is a great age, full of sweetness and discovery and cuddles. I kiss and cuddle mine all the time because I know they won't always let me. And I don't clean. But what will my excuse for a dirty house be when they're older?<br /><br /><br />Recent blog post: <A HREF="http://dublinmom.blogspot.com/2009/05/whats-this-strange-feeling-in-my-brain.html" REL="nofollow">What's this strange feeling in my brain?</A>Janenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760301880687498036.post-87935676171481062282009-05-12T14:03:00.001-04:002009-05-12T14:03:00.001-04:00I love this post.

This stage of life is exhausting, but it's also incredibly sweet. I wish I could treasure it as deeply as I want to, instead of feeling so overcome all the time. It's that whole "drinking from a fire hose" analogy. It's life -- but it's so much at once!<br /><br />Recent blog post: <A HREF="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LoveWell/~3/qxmJBc5IS54/missing-shoes.html" REL="nofollow">The Missing Shoes</A>Kelly @ Love Wellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760301880687498036.post-21359482258959971802009-05-12T08:53:00.001-04:002009-05-12T08:53:00.001-04:00This was beautiful.
