one year, almost

one thing a parent always says is "it goes so fast!" now i know how this feels. after kai was born, i felt the first two years were just about right. it felt like two years. maybe because i was constantly struggling with the whole new being a parent thing. how this new family of three works together. learning about complete selflessness. the first couple years were full of confusion and exhaustion, but mostly new-ness. now, with a second, feeling a bit experienced, trusting myself more, and still a wee exhausted, this year did go fast. maybe it's constantly keeping up with a busy 3 yr old. i can't believe our littlest is almost 1 yr.
