Lately I've been feeling guilty about all of the quickly fleeting moments I've wasted frustrated or angry at Henry. I'm realizing that time you get your child as a baby is very short. I know it's normal for parents to feel stressed out and worn down at times, we're not perfect. But as I watch Henry grow into a little boy, I wish that I could go back in time and do it all over again. If I had a second chance, maybe I wouldn't worry so much about the cup of juice that spilled all over the new couch or that we're fifteen minutes late again because of a meltdown. These things are so, so trivial as time leaves you in the dust.
And someday? I am going to really miss those juice stains.

I know exactly what you mean, friend. The good thing is, you're a wonderful mama and he won't remember those times because you've filled his life with such good and loving memories. Hugs, my dear.
I totally get that and feel the same way. Unfortunately usually in my angry moments, I just CAN NOT convince myself that I will miss them and should take that deep breath like I can when things are going well (or when he's sleeping LOL) I guess it's something we all need to work on!
Love the picture :o)
Lately I have found myself feeling the same way about my daughter. She'll be 2 in July.
