Stolen Moments
July 21st, 2010 Posted in Everyday life, familyIt’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day lists of things to do before I can sit down and relax for a few minutes at night. So easy that I often forget that spending time with Phoebe and Sophie while they are awake is really the most important thing I can do. Last night Phoebe asked me to go sit in Daddy’s rocking chair with her (the recliner). I had already sat in the recliner with them for a few moments and was hoping to do the dishes real quick, so I told her no. Then Sophie toddles into the kitchen and starts pulling on my skirt and I realized that taking a longer moment to sit with them was way more important than the dishes at that time. So we all three sat in Daddy’s rocking chair for a little while. After a minute they both wanted down to do their own thing again. I tried to take in the moment as much as possible because I know soon they will not want to sit with me in a rocking chair anymore.

That is so true, they grow up so very fast, so you better enjoy those moments while you can.

So true. Yet, so very easy to forget.

True. If Emily comes up to me, wanting to do anything, I try to stop whatever I am doing and play with her. Of course, that is rare since we are going through a Mommy phase right now, but that is even more of a reason why I will stop and play with her whenever.
