Life with Two

Two foster littles. I always knew I'd get to this point. I just never envisioned the how.


I opened my home up for two children because I didn't want siblings to be separated. I knew my chances of getting littles would be greater if I were licensed for more than 1.


Then the call came for the baby. Then the call came for a little who was unfortunately being separated from the siblings as they tried to have them all together but it wasn't going too well.

My life as a single mom of two is .. well, crazy, eventful, wonderful, and oh so lovely!


I feel like we are always on a go, then suddenly it is bedtime and bam. Babies in bed.

I have good sleepers and good eaters. I have generally happy littles.


--


We read, play outdoors, pretend, go on adventures and overall soak up togetherness.

I laugh when I think about what is, and what was "supposed" to be. I was suppose to be a mom of two for a very short period of time. It has now been 6 weeks and 1 day. It was maybe going to overlap a week or two.


Good thing I am flexible and go with the flow. It isn't always easy, but it is rewarding. It is the small things that really capture my heart and love for what I do.


A 3 year old that loves hugs and kisses and needs them before I leave after dropping him off at daycare. A 3 year old that insists on prayers before bed each night. A 3 year old that finds amusement in the littest of things like a pair of ear plugs.


A 1 year old that is growing and exploring and watching her personality develop. A 1 year old that enjoys snuggles and being the princess that she is.


I've learned a great deal about being a momma and my kiddos. I would not change anything right now. :)
