Treasuring the Moments
Mar. 18, 2008 - Go to Bed!
Posted in Family

I heaved a sigh as I prepared Audrey (2yo) for bed.  She looked up and said, "What happened, Mommy?" 

I said, "Nothing, I'm just tired."

Her immediate reply.  "Go to bed." 

Good advice, sweetheart. 

I'm enjoying Audrey so much.  I remember when my first two boys were little (they were 17months apart) I would get tired and frustrated at them.  Now that I have 6 children I realize they're little for such a short time, to enjoy them.  Things are also a little different now because when you have older children they help out a lot with the younger ones. 

Don't get me wrong I still get frustrated but I've learned (am learning) to enjoy them where they are now. 


You can learn many things from children.  How much patience you have, for instance.  ~Franklin P. Jones

We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.  ~Stacia Tauscher


Have a wonderful Easter remembering the great price our Lord made and his resurrection.

I think I need to take that simple advice sometimes. "Go to bed, Mommy". LOL.

I needed to be reminded of how they are not little for long this morning when I discovered my son had painted the bathroom sink with toothpaste, AGAIN. ;-)
