Glimpse into my future?

This post is overdue, I know.  Life gets busy, especially around the holidays.  And, if I even think about getting on the computer, I have a little guy standing beside me saying "Upese, upese, upese." The translation to that is "Up, please."  I can only get on the computer when the kids are napping and quite frankly, there are a lot of other things that I need to get done besides blogging.  As much as I think about blog posts and writing (or typing) down what's happening, it just doesn't make the list for that hour I get when both kids sleep!

Anyway...onto why I titled this post "Glimpse into my future."  Last Sunday, we baby-sat for some friends of ours.  Their daughter is about 10 months older than Reagan, so not quite as much as the difference between Reagan and Kyleigh, but pretty darn close.  It was amazing how differently Reagan acted when she was here.  It was like Ryan and I didn't even exist.  He was having so much fun putting magnets on the shelf and then slamming the shelf shut to see the magnets fall to the ground.  While he was playing, I was actually able to cook without any interruptions.  In fact, Ryan was in the kitchen with me and I made a comment about how wonderful it was that Reagan was just playing with his friend in the house and he wasn't insisting on me holding him while I cooked.  As a side note, I know when Reagan and Kyleigh are older and can play together, that will have its own set of problems.  However, I reveled in the idea of Reagan and Kyleigh playing and me being able to get something done without interruption.

This is not the case now and that's okay.  But maybe, at some point in my future, Reagan and Kyleigh will play together.  I will watch them with the memory of dinner taking twice as long because Reagan wanted my attention.  For now, I will accept tasks taking longer than they should and be content in where I am right now with both kids.
