The Smiles Remain


Raising children is hard.  Raising multiple children is harder.  Raising multiple children that includes multiple babies is one of the hardest things ever.  But at the same time, it's also probably one of the most rewarding.

For every night of lost sleep, for every minute of lost sanity, there's a smile or a moment you'll have together that you'll never want to forget.

Sure, there's frustration and chaos, but even in your most sleep deprived state, even though you can't see it, you're still happy you're where you are.

Night & Day, Day & Night


I've commented on this on more than one occasion.  But have you ever noticed the difference in infants from the middle of the night, versus the middle of the afternoon.

Honestly, there's absolutely no difference whatsoever in them.  Unless of course you've been one of the luck ones whose infants have decided to get nights and days backwards.  THEN there's a slight difference.  But usually, the biggest difference is how much (or how little) sleep you've actually had.

But that's the difference that turns them from dastardly villains, or gremlins at 2 A.M. to the beautiful little angels at 2 P.M.

And sometimes, it's quite a big difference.
