September Brings Changes

September is here and it's a big time for our clan. It actually appeared 8 days ago and I'm still in calendar shock. In a matter of two weeks we will have Clari attending preschool and a newborn arriving. To say that my hormones and emotions are a hot mess is probably an understatement. These are big changes to our house and it's all happening at once.

We escorted Clari to her first day of preschool on Tuesday. Some may think "It's only 3 year old preschool for barely half-a-day, what's the big deal?" The big deal is that it's our first born who has entered a time in her life that will continue for years and years to come. It's a big milestone in our lives and her little life. Plus not to toot my own horn, but this girl is FINALLY potty trained. When she was 3 weeks old screaming crying 24/7 I never expected to walk her into a classroom and for her to ask me "Mom, when are you leaving?"

                                

The next chapter is this sweet little sister that is still baking. She is due in less than 2 weeks and we are ready (sort of). We are excited for Clari to be a big sister, to become parents again, and to meet her. With a newborn on the horizon and Clari becoming a preschooler, it has made me realize now more than ever that time needs to slow down. Even on our worst days you can't get those days back.

I'm excited to continue my stay-at-home adventures with Clari and add her baby sister to the mix. Being home all day has me taking a new direction in the blogging world, which I'm loving. Sass and Fruit Snacks describes our family perfectly. There's a lot of sass in a house full of women (daddy is a trooper) and most days the key to the sassy preschooler's heart is her beloved fruit snacks.

I hope you'll continue to follow along on my wild mom-ventures as we avoid sass with fruit snacks!
