Breath Taking

There are so, so many things I love about being a mother and am going to write about one of them. Being a parent is so wonderful and breath taking in which you get to rediscover everything in life. It's so incredible to view life through a child's eyes. So fresh, new, innocent, amazing. I just love it. I could go on and on every single day about so many things that are incredible that I rediscovered through my babies' eyes. One the other day was when I was outside with my boys. Jake was playing with his cars in his sand boxes and Scott was hanging out on my hip in a baby sling (which are AMAZING!). I was dribbling one of Jake's balls he had out and Scott was laughing hysterically. I love thinking about that moment. A ball going up and down was so funny to my 7 1/2 month old. That's just so incredible and takes my breath away. I know other mothers understand what I mean. I love that a ball going up and down is funny and brings joy to my baby boy. And you know what, it does to me too. Living life through a child's eye is so fun and wonderful! And you know what, it makes you feel so happy because you are enjoying life and the moment instead of worrying about life's stresses and speeding through our precious life. Just another thing I pray each and every night for everyone.

  1. I know what you mean, I always feel guilty if I slow down and enjoy life. We could all learn a thing or two from a child's approach to just enjoying every second as it is happening and not worrying so much about the one to come or what we "should" be doing. :)
