A good friend recently shared this article on FB & it really touched me at the time. It was one of those low days that we all go through as moms - baby not sleeping, toddler tantrums, hubby working late. Needless to say, it was a God moment.
Tonight I was brought to tears as Sam & I sat with Ry & watched Lorax for the first time. We had a wonderful day with friends playing in their pool & enjoying lunch. Then, after the kids napped, we headed to Target to get some under-Roos for Ry. I felt like buying a movie (a first in a VERY long time) & after finding Lorax in sale, we indulged.
It's been a "big boy" weekend. We bought a potty seat & stools, Cheerios for aiming & finished up at Target for under-roos. Needless to say, I'm emotional. Potty training seems a bit daunting but exciting. Sad to see my baby grow up though.
So tonight while watching Ry dance along with the songs & ooh & ahh at the movie, I was overcome with joy on seeing my baby growing into a boy. So fast! Where did the time go?!
To top it all off, he ran to our bed & climbed under the covers. It's a sweet gesture since he's a very "active sleeper". But it melted my heart to see that he knows he's welcome & safe in our bed.
I'm so blessed to be able to stay home with him for a little while to watch him grow & help establish his foundation in life :-). I hope he always feels this safe & happy with us.
So here's to moments! The ones that make us stop & appreciate life. The ones that make us teary-eyed. May they carry us through.
