I Love this Kind of Chaos
Sometimes, I wish we didn't buy that much toys
Sometimes, I wish he'd just play without ruining the things I arranged
Sometimes, I get tired just by looking at the floor
Sometimes, I let them stay there for two days
But most of the time, the scenes I see on the floor reminds me that my son is alive in this house
It's a sign of life
A sign of exploration
Learning
Play
This season is just temporary, it will have an end soon. And I know like what most mothers would say, you'll miss it when that day comes when the floor is too tidy.
When there are no more sounds of toys crashing
When there are no giggle and laughter
When there are no pretend play
When no one's pulling you out your seat asking for play time
When no one's just asking you to pickup the toy truck and push it to him
Days are fast and soon, this room will be empty. These toys will be out and the owner will find joy in other things outside the house.
So let me stare on the mess a little longer
Let me join the chaos and enjoy the company of blocks and marbles all scattered on the floor.
Let me embrace the toddler and give him kisses all over.
Let me baby talk and pretend play all these days.
It's a season, it won't stay forever but let me enjoy this while it lasts.
Xoxo,

I feel you on this. Not that my son's starting school and he's getting mature and have all his attention mostly on his baby cousin, it makes me go back on the days when he's still dependent on me of all things
