My first thought was, how can you be bored watching something you created unless you are a boring person? I do get bored from time to time, but it's not from my children, it's from not getting a chance to engage in hobbies or adult conversation as often as I used to.

I know just what you mean. As much as we love our kids, they are exhausting, and we definitely need regular breaks--for all our sakes. Both my girls are long past the baby stage, so let me encourage you--it DOES get easier! Hang in there. If you can get through this, you can get through just about anyhing. Many blessings to you and your little one! Hi Amber, thanks for stopping by! I know just what you mean.

It's exhausting, unpredictable, frustrating, wonderful, and on good days, it's very entertaining. How could I ever be bored with four high spirited kids? Every day is an adventure!
