You actually get to say grab a towel and go get in the shower.
And they do it. And they know how to shampoo and conditioner their hair. AND brush it when they get out.
It’s coming, momma.
A day is coming when you don’t have to go through gymnastics to get your child to sleep.
You’ll have to walk around and find them and ask what they’ve been doing. And the best part is it won’t be fingerpainting the walls, unbuckling their diaper and smearing it on carpet or rubbing diaper cream all over their face.
A day is coming when you don’t have to pack 80 things to leave the house.
In fact, the kids will want to grab a few of their favorite things and you can just say, “Come out to the car when you’re ready and shut the door on your way out.”
And when they come out, you don’t have to buckle a single person except yourself.
And while you’re driving, you don’t have to entertain a single soul to keep them from crying.
A day is coming when they won’t say no every time you tell them to do something.
In fact, sometimes they’ll even ask you what they should do.
All of this and more is coming. It gets easier. Parenting gets funner. Yes, funner. But it gets that way because you did the hard work.
They’ll know how to shower because you taught them.
They’ll know how to play because you taught them.
They’ll know how to eat because you taught them.
Hang on, mommas. I know these are hard years, but they’re good years. You can do it.
