Over the years, I have become friends with some of my clients. We share a connection…our kids. Maybe it's because we know we're in this journey of motherhood toegther. We love our kids madly and try to do what we can to “preserve” their childhood. While I know that many memories will leave my head over time, I know I can always count on a photograph to awaken the memories I will always carry in my heart.
My home life is pretty loud right now. I get at least a hundred requests a day for milk, snacks, hugs & kisses. I break up countless fights and arguments. I find myself looking forward to bedtime on some days so that I can have a moment to myself. Ironically, when I get those moments I usually think about my day and remember the fabulous new hair do G gave me, the smile on baby O’s face once she figured out how to wave and say bye bye on cue, the relief B has when he walks in the door after school happy to be home, and the hilarious things A comes up with throughout the day. My kids are great and although many days I really want to pull my hair out and want to go run and hide in my closet, I know that someday I’ll miss all of this. I get a little teary eyed when I think about the future, the still house and the missing footsteps down the hall. I know that although sometimes I want to escape to dinner with just my husband, some day we will have dinner together and wish our kids would be there. And although I know that I can’t keep my little ones small forever, I still wish that I could. -mw
{ It is so great to watch my littlest clients grow from babies to toddlers to big kids. Check out C when she was about a year old…now she is a *big kid*. Thanks to mom, A, for being my very first client.}
