This past weekend, Samara took a totally pleasant shower, no goggles, no screaming - it was even her choice. She washed her body, by herself. It was a fully positive experience. For the last three years, I couldn't imagine this would ever happen. She hated showers - like CRAZY hated them and threw tantrums about them (she's not the most tantrum-y of kids). That passed!
Samara also woke up with a dry pull-up. Twice. She had NEVER ONCE woken up dry since she was a baby. That passed too!
Koby finally sleeps until the 4s most nights - he sleeps straight until then from 7:30pm, and he drinks a bottle and goes straight back to sleep until 7. Not totally ideal, but we are sleeping until 4. Just a few months ago that was a dream. That too passed!
When I feel exhausted and like my days are such a struggle - I realize that last summer I had a 1.5 year old and a newborn. That SUCKED, and even that passed!
So, lesson to myself and all worrying mamas - whatever stage your kid is in that is so super annoying. You never think it will be over. Your life will suck. Forever. Then...just like that...it passed!!!

My mom always says, "This too shall pass" and it is the one piece of advice she gives me that always gives me comfort ❤️
