All By Myself...

Today marked the first day that Cally, Xander and I spent all by ourselves. Last night proved to be a very anxiety ridden night as I tried to prepare for a hard day of figuring out how to do two kiddles. However, when the morning arrived by way of a three year old announcing his presence at my bedside, things proved to be much different than I had anticipated. Xander watched his morning movie and I decided to take that opportunity to start laundry and check emails. We had a very nice breakfast all together and then went on to a morning tubby. While Xander was in the tub I got myself ready for the day and also managed to get Cally all "cuted" up. I realized that having two babies just means managing time very wisely and taking advantage of each spare moment. Maybe this won't be as daunting as I thought...(knock on wood, cross your fingers, etc., etc.).
Warm you heart moment from the day: I was in my bedroom getting dressed as Xander stood watch over his sister while she was in her swing. All of a sudden I hear a symphony of kissy sounds that sound pecuriously like they are coming from my son's mouth. I stepped out of my bedroom to find my beautiful boy on his very tip toes kissing his sissy on her lips. I stood watch at the corner just long enough to watch him whisper into Cally's ear, " Callyboo is such a pretty girl. You are so pretty." Then he noticed I was there and smiled only a smile a little boy with a glowing heart could smile as I tenderly wiped a tear from my eye as only a mommy with a glowing heart could.
