i tried so hard to get a picture of them both looking their best, but these are the results. marit is so wiggly!
lately:
*i took them both running today and graham was fussing as he was about to fall asleep and always fusses first (why do they do that anyway?). marit usually just yanks the pacifier in these moments, but today she reached up and held graham's hand and kept on chattering soothingly. so sweet and it actually helped!
*graham has started to laugh. i love it!
*marit "helped" me make cookies for the first time. they turned out a little odd because i was so distracted, but she had a blast!
*the moments of sheer delight make the gazillion more moments of mundane (there is joy in those moments too) all worth it. i love motherhood.

these are so cute! i think the best kid pics are the ones where they won't do what you want them to do!
and ps..i feel you with the 2nd child selfishness thing. i have been so worn out trying to cling so tightly to "my" time, activities, desires etc.. too. thank you for this refreshing truth.
Children bring out the best in us (as parents) and the worst in us.
