Change is an interesting thing. There are positives and negatives to change...

Bracken worked late tonight so I was putting the kids to bed on my own. In our old house they all slept in the same room. I would sit on the floor and watch them drift to sleep as I sang songs, Waiting to hear each of their breaths turn slow and deep.
Now Hayes has his own room which provides him the ability to stay up a bit later and read. He asked me to come sing to him after I was done with the girls. I was lamenting in my head how this was taking twice as long. Then I went into Hayes's room. Now that we have the space, he has a twin bed instead of a toddler bed so I laid in his bed with him and sang as he fell asleep, his arm wrapped over me.
I know that won't happen every night, but I enjoyed the one-on-one time I had with Hayes.
Today has been full of getting errands and chores done. Thanks to my Mom and Madi coming I finally feel like I'm to the point where we are unpacked. There are a few things left to do but now we can live normally. Tomorrow I'm going to focus on having a day to just play with and enjoy my kids. Sometimes I get to caught up in being "the mom" instead of being "their mom" if that makes sense. Plus they are so funny when I decide to slow down and enjoy them being them.
