I have felt that sweet feeling of joy and peace in knowing that I have been VERY loved and blessed. But I think the Lord has been reminding me to be grateful for the little things. I am going to lift this idea from a friend and try to write down 3 good things, to help me remember my blessings and the good things in life.

 

1. Rocks. I was doing laundry and as I emptied the washer I found a huge pile of rocks in the bottom. Carter is such a boy. I am so glad that I can watch his fascination as he fills his pocket with rocks. I am not as glad that I forget to remove them later.

 

2. Routine. Carter is way into his bedtime routine. He wants to be read to, have his songs sung and then hugs and kisses. Today I took the time to enjoy him just sitting on my lap and reading together, instead of just rushing through. I sang one more song and rubbed his back as he dozed off. He sleepily opened his eyes and said "Love you Mommy, give me kisses and hugs."

 

3. Giggles. Paige is such a sweet and happy baby. She is has the best little smile. When she scrunches up her eyes and opens her mouth wide, it melts my heart. I love to hear her giggle when she is watching Carter. The bond that they have is amazing. No one makes her smile and/or laugh like her big brother.

Thanks for sharing that! Sometimes it's hard to remember to stop and enjoy the moment you're living in because you're too busy rushing to get through it. I've been trying to slow down and appreciate the quiet moments I get to spend with Sadie instead of just trying to hurry and get through the bedtime routine. Carter is such a sweetheart, it's moments like that that make you realize how important being a mom is. And nothing warms the heart like baby giggles! =)

I like the rocks story. Isn't it amazing how perspective can change everything? It's hard, but it can be done!
