Ha! We did it! Noah is 2, and that means we've been parents for 2 years! I'm sure we've learned plenty of life lessons since he has been in our lives, but I think the biggest ones are how you have to remember that children are sponges and we are their biggest teachers. We need to act the way we would want them to act. Secondly, that we need to balance life between being a couple and being a family. I know for me, I will give my child everything and take care of myself after, but that isn't good because it means I am neglecting myself, which in turn doesn't help my child... On the other hand, I have a husband who wants to take Noah everywhere we go, whether its grocery shopping, out to eat, etc. which leaves limited time for US as a couple. I don't think it really bothered us until I realized that our conversations were pretty much all about Noah and that when we got into arguments, it took us time to come back together as a unit. If you're not careful, kids will take over your life. You still have to feed your relationship because when these kids leave for college, you still have to live the rest of your life with that person! Lol
Besides learning these lessons, it's been a great year! After PE tubes surgery, Noah has just blossomed into a very talkative child. What in the heck was I worried about?! Oh and he got dismissed from Speech Therapy too! Funny that now his SLP has become a friend. I'm grateful for all those individuals God has brought into my life this year. He is learning so much, such a comedian, and if we get lucky, he gives us some cuddles! Lol
Gotta love this kid. Her are a few pics of his birthday party!
