We decided to go to the local waterpark today with Aunt Toni. Eli was going to go but Lilliana and I decided to join her and all the kids. We got the kids ready and away we went. Lilliana and I were buddies for the day as usual. She looked so cute in her sun hat and swim suit. I took her out in the water and at first she was a fit of giggles and enjoyed it. She loves water. Then I took her in the more shallow water so she could sit and splash. That lasted about 5 minutes and then she started crying. So I took her over to the little splash area with the other kids. Still more crying. The other kids loved it though.
She just was unhappy. The other kids were thrilled to see her but she obviously did not care. As you can see Eli thoroughly enjoyed himself. I took her and went to sit down to get her clothes on. She still cried................
It was chilly this morning and by this point the other kids were getting hungry and came to sit. Eli and Hayden sat together. Those two are so cute together. Hayden adores Eli and Eli well he loves Hayden but really likes her older sister Brynn. Brynn is a older and so Eli spends more time with Hayden.
All that to say they love each other. The plan was to have lunch at the water park and more swimming. I decided to take Lilliana home as she was miserable and I could not do a whole lot. We came home and took a nap.
Needless to say I am exhausted still. The kids keep taking turns about not sleeping well and so that means I am up. Its wearing me out! Eli is sleep walking at night and I wake up to messes all over the house he has no clue doing. I am just tired. My head feels like it is going to explode but its called being Mom. Thankfully Anthony has tomorrow off becuase he has already worked so much this week and they don't want to much over time. I have a play date planned with a good friend and her two girls who are the kids age. I am excited for that, but I am still tired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would I trade it for anything else...........................................
NO!!
My kids are wonderful!! They are blossoming and growing and well that is why I have so much on my mind. It may have been a pizza and movie kind of night here but there was a moment that melted my heart. Eli looked at Lilliana while he is on the floor sitting on a towel and said, "Lydianna (He has started saying it that way as opposed to E anna! He is trying really hard) I eating pizza!" Now it seems silly but the child tries to include her in everything and it melts my heart. Anthony and I looked at each other and just had that parent moment of our kids are amazing.
The other thing bothering me is Lilliana is turning 6 months tomorrow!! I am happy she is healthy and growing. It is bittersweet though. She is growing so much. We start solids and she is halfway to one. Where has the time gone? Where is my little tiny girl who I could hold in one hand and her head fit in my palm. Tomorrow we will celebrate though! We will celebrate that she is healthy and happy and we are blessed.
My house is a wreck and that is annoying. I just cleaned it and I feel like it is a neverending battle! I may have dark circles, a pounding headache, can't think straight, and life may be all out of wack, BUT I have a house, an amazing husband who has a job, two wonderfully and beautifully made children, the Lord, and health. I could not ask for much more except maybe sleep. Tomorrow is a new day as today was. It was better than yesterday so here is to hoping tomorrow is even more amazing!
