Enjoying the Moments

I logged on to Blogger 45 minutes ago and had plans for starting a new blog post.

But then I heard a tiny peep from my kids' room that said, "Momma? I need a grink (translation: drink)."

I even had the thought of ignoring it and seeing if he would go back to bed but I knew I needed to not be "lazy mom" and be "proactive mom that gets up when her children need her". So that is who I was.

I quietly opened the door with the "grink" and Spidey gulped the entire cup. Then, I told him I'd sing him a song before he went back to bed and after one song turned into 10, I just knew I had to get video of him singing 'I am a Child of God'.

So that's what I did.

(I apologize, it was dark in his room so it's really just sound.)

Has your heart melted yet? Because mine has.

After the song, my boy wanted his picture taken.

So naturally, I had to take about 20 because he loves to ham it up for my camera.

This was the outcome.

I will always cherish those pictures because they will remind me of the time I spent enjoying the minutes we were in instead of wishing my life were somewhere else.

There are so many days I wish I could have the mind of a child again.

The days when tying a blanket around your neck meant you became a super hero...

(Or as my son says, "Mom, make me Supa-Man!".)

The days when you enjoyed the exact moments you were in.

I find myself often wishing Boss was done with school or that we could afford a fancier car or a bigger house but what I need to enjoy is having little kids and a darn good life right now.

They won't be little much longer.

So tomorrow, I will try to enjoy those tender moments a little more and yell a lot less.

(Yelling is my mommy weakness.)

And that's how Suze sees it.
