So now that Zach and I have officially decided we are ready to become a family of 3 I have been thinking more and more about the changes that will become when we have a child. I've been around a lot of young children and I absolutely love being with them but I've always had the luxury of giving them back to their parents at the end of the day. But once the child is mine I will no longer have that.. I will have to be the person to hire a sitter to have some free time!
Then to think of having to constantly be aware of what the child is doing and where you place things and how safe everything is will be a whole new problem... especially with our dogs! I became extremely aware of some of these problems yesterday when I was sitting for the two young boys Conner(1 yr) and Aiden (3yrs). As I was getting Conner ready for bed he was upset by the changing process so I was distracting him with a bunny then I hear Aiden playing the bookshelf.. So I asked him not to pull all the books down but naturally thats what he does.. and I can't stop him because I'm changing Conner so I just let Aiden do his destruction so when I finish with Conner I started to clean up the books Aiden had pulled off the bookshelf when I noticed that Conner had left the room. When I caught up with him he was playing in the toilet!! After I had just got him into clean pajamas! I was just so frustrated! I was so glad when it was finally time to put them to bed and I could stop worrying about what of each of them was getting into! The worst part was I was only there for 4 hours one of which they were sleeping!!!!
I only hope we are as ready for this as we think we are! I know there will be so many changes we will have to make but I also know it will be worth it!
