A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to just stop and take a breath while putting Allie to bed and it hit me. I am a mom. Yes, I did realize that before this point, but we spend so much time rushing through stuff, trying to stay ahead of meals, laundry, grocery shopping... etc, etc, that we really don't get to sit back and look at what we have.
On this particular day (that this major joy and responsibility hit me) I had just finished our night routine... you know, dinner, pjs, reading Dr Seuss (for the millionth time… thanks mom) and putting each in their respective beds (Allie in hers and Adri on ours until he's asleep). Allie stopped me after I kissed her and asked me to rub her back. How adorable is that?! She wanted just a little more of my time before she fell asleep. It was so sweet to just sit by her rubbing her little back until she was satisfied.
I have 2 amazing kids with such different and wonderful personalities. They both amaze me constantly with the new things they are learning and loving every day! I am blessed to be such an important part of their lives. I hope that every day I do my best for them both.
