Mama said there'd be days like this

Is it me or are some days just plain difficult?  As i said before i joined the y.  Elli is joyous over the fact there is a pool and just like with her gymnastics class she has began to ask nonstop when we can go.  The only difference between gymnastics and the pool is... the pool hardly ever closes and gymnastics was only once a week.  Gymnastics was an easy fix after a week of counting down to the day we had gymnastics she would only occasionally ask when her next class was, and genius that i am, i just failed to mention that the day was gymnastics day until about 2 hours before class started!
We went to the pool today.
Preparation took all day long, not to mention the baby was not really cooperating.  And do you have any idea how hard it is to find infant swim trunks in the winter... not just swim trunks but infant swim trunks?  Also unless i would like to be kicked out of the pool for orange poo floating around as we swim, i had to find swimmy diapers.  Let me tell you neither was easy to find especially with elli in the back seat asking "how many more minutes mommy?" and did i mention little man isn't fond of his car seat, lol!  I survived though, with a near meltdown in the locker room after swimming (mine not elli's, lol).  I just have to say though, my daughter is an amazing little girl.  By the time we reached the pool she had not had a nap and was visibly tired but through the whole ordeal she never lost her enthusiasm.  Whether mommy was tired and crabby or micah was screaming... i would look back in the rearview mirror to see her smiling face!  I hope i remember to tell her how special and inspiring she is to me so she grows up confident and just as happy as she was today!



Although today i really feel like i fell short, i pray everyday that i can be as great at being her mommy as she is at being my little girl :)
