Coloring with Gia while we just talked. She told me how much she loves talking to me. In that moment I knew that she knew I was there for her. I still feel as though I often have to force myself to sit down with her after she has asked me several times to play with her, but I want to remember these moments that I do take. Hopefully these times will increase too.
During the half hour before Brandon got home, everyone was getting restless around here. So, I declared that we needed some fresh air. I bundled everyone up and we went out for a walk as the sun went down. I gave 2 piggy back rides, found pine cones, and sang "following the leader". It was a perfectly timed activity and truly a "breath of fresh air".

I love this Mel! What a wonderful reminder! I feel like I've been selfish lately with the gym and the computer and I need to stop and spend more time teaching and playing and loving and learning with my kids. I love you so much and I'm so thankful you are in my life.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go now and talk to my kids!
