Sometimes there are so many thoughts in my head that I can never pin one down and really be grateful or happy for it. So, this is how the blog came about. Too much time has already slipped by with my littlest love turning one in January, and now with a second due in June, I decided it was time.
Avery is so amazing. There, The End. I could just end my blog this way and be a happy person, but that was not my intent. Too many of these memories are going so quickly, that I don't want to miss anything!
For instance, last night Avery was in her 'discovery' mode, you know where she wants to look and touch and feel everything and wants to be involved in whatever you're doing with those shiny, sharp things on the counter. It really was a revelation moment for me, but I was either at a breaking point or a 'love point' (as I like to call it). Trying to ingore her and just get done what I needed to for dinner was usually how I opperated. 'Give me five minutes and then I'll give you 20' was kinda my motto. But last night was different. I could see in her eyes that she wanted me and just wanted to do what I was doing, and I had never thought or seen that before...God's whisper? Maybe.
So, Avery and I ended up making dinner together last night, together. I popped the green beans, and she sat happily on the counter and put them in the pot that Mommy had place between her legs. Then we did the same for the potatos. She even enjoyed helping me put on the lids and placing them on the stove.
Craziness...who would have thought those twenty minutes of 'discovery' would create such a peaceful evening.
You think you kids can't teach you anything, and then they do... God is so (for lack of a better word) cool.
Looking forward to more 'Mommy Moments'
