I remember when before I was married how much I would love to spend time with my niece Sadie and my nephews Joseph and Jax (this isn't to say I no longer enjoy spending time with time with them because I do). I would love reading stories with them, having sleepovers, making cakes, etc... Every time I would have one of them on my lap I remember thinking how much I couldn't wait to have one of my very own. Tonight, as I was holding Beckham, Asher came and worked his way onto my lap for some cuddle time. I was overcome with gratitude for my two little boys. I am truly blessed.
And believe me, I needed this moment as lately I'm usually thinking to myself "What in the world made me think I could do this?"
I definitely remember those moments - both the good and the bad. I still have them, too, only now it's when the kids are screaming at each other, slamming doors, beating each other up, etc. And I think, "What was I thinking?" But then there are the great moments, too, that make it all worth it!
ReplyDeleteI love this. Sometimes, and it can often be at the least expected moments, it just hits you, how wonderful it all is.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for your influence in the lives of your sons and in the life of my son. You are the BEST and I love you.
