Milestones

Well I am happy to say that I am done changing diapers. I am actually kind of in shock about it. I potty trained Grace at 22 months, Mimi at 23 month and Mac at 24 months. I thought that Mac would take me a really long time to potty train. I have heard that boys are really tough. Well, he has actually been my easiest. I think it had a lot to do with the fact that I had just potty trained Mimi and he had seen her go through it.
I feel like this is such a huge milestone in my life. I have been changing diapers for almost 4 years straight. I feel like in the last two months my babies have become toddlers. I took away the binkies, took away the sippie cups and now they are potty trained. Where has the time gone? I have honestly been in baby mode for so long it is crazy to think that these are my last babies. That those were my last diapers... last binkies. That I don't need anything in the baby aisle at target anymore. My wallet is definitely happy about this, but somehow it is all bittersweet. It really has just hit me. My babies are not babies anymore and we are moving on to the next chapter in our lives. I am really excited to see them grow and develop and am having more and more fun with them. But gosh.... looking back the time has gone so fast. When I was in the midst of having three under 2 all I could wish for was for it to be 2 years later. Now I am there. Now by no means do I want to go back to the first two years, because they were absolutely exhausting. I am just trying to take in this moment for what it is and realizing that it went by so fast.

The closing of this phase of my life.... Crazy.

My Big Boy Mac :)
