As a kid, I thought it would be fun to keep a diary.  Write my big and exciting thoughts down in a cool diary and lock it with a key.  So secretive and exciting. Well, my diary phase lasted about a week.  I never have been one for journaling or writing down my thoughts.  But, now, as a mother of two kids, I find myself learning small lessons that I wish I would write down so I could read them later when I might need the words of wisdom. Or, my toddler says something funny or poops on the potty for the first time (he did that today!) and I need somewhere to record the big event!
I also think it would be great for my kids to be able to read about their childhood one day.  Maybe my random thoughts and experiences will encourage Baby M when she is having a bad Mommy day and maybe it will give Little E a little more understanding as to what his wife’s day is like.  Most of all, these blogs will be my permanent record of the love and joy I experience daily as the mother of two adorable, happy, wonderful children.  And, I’m sure the frustrating and exasperating moments of raising two kids will be peppered in also!
