the golden age of toddlerhood

Just for the moms.

I love toddlerhood* (*every moms experience will wildly vary in the age of her children she flourishes in ) for me the baby years were just downright hard. I work full time , we moved when my kiddo was under 1 year to the farm, I was trying to figure out this new life with very little alone time, my body was producing milk and pumping while driving and at work and I just had my entire life transformed.

 My entire life from teenager to working adult was the career woman, take care of yourself, work the extra hours. Outside of work my ENTIRE personality was horses. The matrescence process for me (as a woman who waited until 31 to have a baby) was a bumpy ride.

Here are some over simplistic graphs of my feelings just for maybe the 1 other mom that will read this blog and think ok ok so I’m not crazy. And keep in mind I had an “easy” baby for everything except my kiddo is a night owl and does not like to go to bed early (still a thing in toddler hood however)

 the 1st year (granted this is a bit simplistic but overall an accurate picture for me)

toddlerhood!!

Last night, I took a shower alone! My kiddo played with his cars and his Yoto player perfectly content and I wasn’t worrying he would hurt himself while alone.

I fed the horses last night and then we PLAYED for hours. Was I tired? Yes. Am I sore? Yes. Was it the most magical moments in time? Yes. Putting my phone away after work and not sitting down is hard. The purpose in my life right now is unmatched.

my baby is FAST and I mean FAST

Anyway, just some mid week ramblings of a haywire brain with the vet coming out this afternoon for my retired horse dental and bloodwork, Tractor supply run and hopefully squeezing a ride in.

Happy trails to you.
