Worry.

I've never been much of a worrier until I became a mom. There are so many things to think about being a parent. Some times I just need to tell myself to relax. Last year at this time I had a lot I was worrying about. Carson was just staring preschool and my main worry besides if he would enjoy it was if he would behave well. Let's just say Carson had been kicked out of primary and the Ikea playland (I guess they frown on throwing balls at the workers). After two weeks into the school year I recieved a phone call from his teacher. I had forgotten that this was standard at his school and I anxiously waited to hear what problem she was calling about. She had great things to say about him and there weren't any problems. When I told Todd, he responded "Really? Wow, that's great" and we both had a collective sigh of relief. I was worried about Annie, who had recently become our middle child. Carson and Kai demanded so much attention I worried she wasn't getting enough. She hated Carson going to school and would cry almost everytime he got out of the car. Suddenly school seperated them and they argued more than before. Newborns just make me worry. So I was always worried about Kai. What a difference a year makes? Carson and Annie are both in preschool and love it. Taking Kai out while they are at school is so easy. If only I would have realized how easy one could be when I just had Carson. So for know there is a lot less worry and I'm enjoying it for as long as I can.
