Happy New Year
Friday, December 30th, 2016From Friday Mom – Erin
New years eve is a little different with an almost two year old and almost four year old. Instead of fun parties and champagne, we will have pajamas, my parents’ couch, some football, and champagne. Staying up until midnight will guarantee and even sleepier morning when the kiddos wake at 6 am and tip toe their way into our bed. And the day spent on the couch watching football will give way to park trips, snack time, and mommy watch this, watch this.
In most ways, our post-kid lives are the new normal. And most days and weekends I don’t spend much time longing too terribly hard for “the way things were.” Fortunately, I have never actually been a huge fan of NYE. So I don’t stress, make the best of it, and look forward to the first year Rory will be able to stay up late to ring in the new year with us.
For now, we’ll teach him about resolutions, celebrate, and wait with anticipation for what the new year has in store.
