The End of a Four-Day Weekend

I’m curled up in bed and a puddle by the end of a four-day weekend with two kids. Although it can be endless fun, it is also exhausting!

My husband found the reason last night… before kids, we had a lot of quiet time and didn’t talk much. We were happy to enjoy silence together while drawing or reading or doing other things. Now that we have a toddler he fills every nook and cranny of silence with singing, talking, and other lovely noises. He also requires our seemingly constant verbal feedback. Yes, there are times we ask for quiet and for him to wait, but mostly we engage. Because… who can resist?
