I had the best of intentions when I started this blog, but like everything else on my to-do list....well, it just stays on the list. Kendall woke me up at 7:30 this morning ready to make blueberry muffins. I do not know where this child gets her energy. It seems like I'm getting less and less energy everyday. So now we're eating blueberry muffins, I'm updating this blog and Kendall is coloring Tiana (princess & the frog) with color wonder markers. This is what I call a perfect Sunday morning. I don't get them every often since I enrolled in co-parenting 3 years ago and I realize that I don't savor my 2 weekends with Kendall enough. Usually I'd be running around this morning tackling that infamous to-do list. But it seems like the older Kendall gets (and the older I get), I realize how few of these Sunday mornings I have left. Kendall will be SIX on Saturday - I can't really wrap my mind around that. Six years ago this child came home with us and all I remember thinking at that time is when, when, when. When will she stop crying all the time; when will she walk; when will she talk. And now I want to know when time will stop!
Yesterday I had our pictures taken (after realizing that I've never had professional photos of the two of us) and Kendall couldn't figure out why we were having our pictures taken. I told her that I wanted pictures to remember her when she leaves home and goes off to college. She told me she was never leaving home and if she did she would buy me house near her college. It's so sweet that she thinks this is all life has to offer - her family, school and playing - and I think I'll let her keep thinking that for as long as possible.
