Where does the time go?

I know it's one of those things you hear "grown-ups" say and you never truly understand until you're one of them, but kids just grow up too quickly!  I realize my girls are no where near grown, but these last 2 1/2 years have just flown by and I can't believe it!  There are so many things I wish I had written down some place because with all the busy days and nights, it's impossible to remember them all.  I am sad to say Sophia's baby book is unfinished and Ellie's is well...it's unopened!  I am going to get myself organized these next few months I swear!! In any case, I guess I am just realizing that I need to keep a better record of the moments and memories so that I can look back someday and not say, "Hmmm, was that you or your sister?"  I have decided to keep a little record each day, just a few things I can quickly write down, but will hopefully keep me motivated to keep on top of both blogging and keeping record for my girls to look back on someday.  I came up with the idea a while ago, but haven't yet started it until now.

I think the idea came to me after a particularly trying day, and I was thinking, well tomorrow will be better.  And it was, and almost always is.  I think parenting is so much about perspective and adjusting and adapting.  Looking back on the days of just one child, now it seemed so easy, but then it certainly was not.  And I know if/when we have a third, these days with 2 will seem like a breeze.  So, I was thinking by keeping a log of our days, both good and challenging, it will help me keep my perspective and remember to just have faith that I am doing the best I can!

Today, Monday February 7, 2011....
My favorite moment was...coming into my bedroom this morning to find the cutest girls cuddled up in my bed!
My challenge was...naps!  Not that they won't nap, but that Ellie takes a morning nap, usually between 9 and 10, they they both take an afternoon nap, some time between 1:30 and 4pm!  It's becoming very difficult to get out of the house!!
My question is...How is my baby nearly one year old!?
Quote of the day...A very concerned Sophia looking at her toe, which is peeling on the bottom, "Mommy!  I'm sorry, it's broken!!"
My hope for tomorrow...Get to organizing Ellie's ever rotating wardrobe!  Maybe a trip to Ikea?

I am hoping to do this often, maybe not everyday, but I will certainly try!!
