Hi Tatiana!
It was lovely to read your response to this month's topic. Yes you were certainly witness to my busy days with my tiny ones! Its funny because Lucy still has a very high-pitched (and cute) voice, even as an adult! She is in France working with her husband, so Tess will get to catch up with her which is lovely for them. I do think letting go is the hardest lesson I've had to learn, but I always have to remind myself that my primary job as a mum is to prepare my children to live as confident and competent adults. They would be emotionally crippled if I wanted them to always be dependent on me. However the early years are so important, because when they form a healthy, trusting attachment to us, it provides a secure base from which they begin to move out to explore the world around them.
So I'm glad you are appreciating this time with your little ones, because boy...the time just flies! Juliet's starting school will be your first big lesson in letting go. I'm sure it will be a challenge, but look for the lessons and the beauty of this season.
