Why did God make 2-year-olds? Because sometimes you just need that little word of adoring encouragement. This morning as I was getting dressed Tikvah looked at me and said, "Mommy, you are a so beautiful princess."
There are times I am incredibly aware of the fact that I am getting older....most of the teachers here are just a little bit older than my oldest child, before long I will have 3 boys in the states in college, and my own college sweatshirt is (pink tinged smile, yes I STILL have it) almost 25 years old....
We are beginning to enter a new stage and I am still clinging to the old one. I don't feel as if I have much sage wisdom, and I am still investing a lot of time in my own little ones, yet now I am the one offering encouragement to the new Mom,"keep it up, it gets easier..." Perhaps that's why God spread our family out over 17 years. I can still relate at many levels. While it would be nice to put the diaper bag away for good, I will miss the loving 2 year old who sees her Mom like no one else.
