Quick thoughts

I'm sitting here not sure what to do with my time and as I take my first calm and deep breath of the day- it's 12:30, lunch is over, diapers and bathrooms have been attended for and both girls are independently absorbed safely in their favorite toys in tandem- I'm filled with nostalgia of how far the 3 of us have come since Taylor's entry into our week day world. Instead of the guilt of neglecting Ana b.c of Taylor's unquenchable thirst of comfort I am sitting here wondering if I should interrupt their independent play for some guided play, or leave their imaginations to be... an all too easy question! Especially in comparison to our last 8 months.
So, while at times I still feel surges of guilt for things such as Ana not being able to
partake in many toddler driven activities as we sit slave to the 2 naps a day baby schedules, I think how much they both are getting out of life together and am again ENTIRELY grateful for these amazing days I get to spend with my girls, watching them grow, develop and evolve before my very eyes.
It sure does sadden me to think of the day that I see more of their backs than these smiling chubby cheeks. Does it get any better than this?

(on a side: Ana currenly is walking up the stairs telling me, "mommy, I'm going nigh, night upstairs". What an amazing child!)
