This week I wanted to be a mom who was present, who lived in the moment. So when my daughter looked at me with her big brown eyes and asked if she could go play in the snow - I said YES. You see, I want to be a YES mom when it comes to learning experiences, to special moments. There are many times where I need to say no for safety or other reasons, so I am trying to say YES to happy moments and opportunities for my kids and I to learn and grow together.
My Lily LOVES the red umbrella she has with her in the picture. She twirled all over the backyard with it. I'm glad I left the dishes in the sink, the laundry in the dryer, and didn't even pause to make sure her hair was done ... she loved playing outside and it made her day.
I also recently saw this Youtube video and I LOVED LOVED LOVED it. I want more moments.
That is the cutest picture ever! Love it! So adorable!!! :) PS: Also loving the pink leopard print gloves she is wearing, do those come in adult sizes??? LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reminder to live in the moment.
