My daughter and I were granted a precious nugget of time together today. I can’t tell you for certain what it meant to her but if it meant to her what it meant to me, it was priceless.
Now that she is tucked in her bed, hopefully having sweet dreams, I sit here and look back on our day. Why is it we make so much time for housework, duties and others and rarely pamper ourselves or our kids with TIME? Don’t get me wrong, I love quality time with God, my husband and friends but this one on one time that we get with our kids is yanked away so quickly from us. I need to take more days like today to just stay home with not a single thing on our calendar.
In fact it was jammy/comfy day for the girls. We didn’t go anywhere other than to the school (yes, in our jammies). We just laughed, chatted, played, read and attempted a craft.
I know that I am not the first mom, nor will I be the last to say that, “I wish they could stay this age for forever!” It brings me to tears thinking about the day my baby girl won’t come running to me for lovin’s or my baby boy will not want me to hug him at school.
Alas, tomorrow is another of those crazy days but I have my memories from today to sustain me to the next family day. I can always hope that it will snow so much that school will be delayed and be granted another day with my kids.
What a sweet day of fun for you two! So glad you had some little girl time! She is such a loving little minkie and I don’t want them to grow sooo fast either…lovely smiles!
