Could we all just stop what we’re doing for a split second to acknowledge how tremendous of a job us parents are doing with parenting during a pandemic?! Nothing could have prepared us for what we’re going through at this moment. No parenting book. No parenting podcast. No parenting resource. At least for myself, I can proudly say that my husband and I are simply winging it.
.
We have lots of dance parties and I wouldn’t be true to myself if I said there isn’t excessive screen time for the toddler. We are doing the best that we can. Having two little ones at home 24/7 is no joke. The demands. The noise. The crying. The tantrums. It’s HARD! Some days I’m hiding in my closet for a breather. Other days I’m on the floor fully engaged in playtime. And that’s okay. As I type this, I have an 8 month old yelling at me (it’s a phase) to pick her up. This time has been an ultimate test of resilience, perseverance, and commitment. I give myself grace for the days where I don’t feel like parenting and I encourage other parents to do the same as well. We do the best that we can. Otherwise, there’s always tomorrow.
.
Love to all, always. In the words of Dory (a favourite movie around here), “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming…”.
