Sometimes life gets so busy that I forget to notice and appreciate the little things. Here are some of the things I am loving lately:
I WANT TO REMEMBER… searching for the ever-elusive J, only to find him (sitting cross-legged, no less!) playing Legos with his brothers. My sweet boy is growing right before my eyes.
I WANT TO REMEMBER… how much fun the boys had during our first visit to the beach this year. They all played so nicely and independently that I wasn’t quite sure what to do with myself! Perhaps this is the year I can actually read a book?!
I WANT TO REMEMBER… that old cell phones are great entertainment for little kids. The big boys found a couple of my out-dated phones (circa 2005?) and they have played with them for hours! I love that they call them their “Iphones”!
I WANT TO REMEMBER… the notes and drawings I find scattered around the house. I’ve been leaving paper and crayons out in the dining room with the intention of assisting independent creativity. So far, big hit!
I WANT TO REMEMBER… how much I love and appreciate my husband. While I’m wallowing in self-pity with an achy pregnant body, whiny kids and never-ending days, I want to always remember his sacrifice for our family too. We are a team and we are on this crazy adventure together.
