Ever since baby #2 came along, baby #1 has had to learn to adjust to getting my very very divided attention. He was so used to having my undivided attention for over 2 years that it's been..... Interesting...... It's so hard not to feel guilty that Liam (the oldest) isn't being held and cuddled and played with constantly like we used to do, but Oliver needs us just as much, well, let's not joke around, babies need us constantly! It's hard to feel like I'm letting Liam down when I'm feeding/changing/ holding the baby and can't play cars or get him something to eat right away. He's resorted to throwing grapes at the TV (yes he watches tv while he eats when I need a break) when he's done and I can't get up because a baby is attached. And he laughs while he does it! At the same time, God is using this to remind me that He is the only one that can satisfy. Liam will grow up knowing that all people are sinners and will let him down (even mommy and daddy *gasp*) and I pray God would reinforce the fact that He is the One who will never disappoint! I love my chaotic life and I'm so thankful that He is here to give me grace and to help me teach my kids grace through
my failings!!!
Below is a picture of my kiddos! As crazy as things have gotten since having kids, it's so sanctifying and fun at the same time and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
