Flower pots line the deck, the garden is almost all planted, dirty feet patter across the floors, warm breezes gust through open windows. I want to savor every single moment of this summer with two toddlers in tow. But for as much as I want to savor this summer my unrealistic expectations about how things should go (that very frequently go unmet) leave me exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated. So I’m trying to replace those expectations with realities. These are the three realities I’ve found to be true of summer with young kids. By embracing them I can enjoy summertime with two toddlers.
