Sometimes, the quiet times are the best “mommy” moments. I had one this weekend with my kids. I’m a huge fan of our nighttime routine – mainly because it means my daughter, 3, and son, 6, are cuddled next to me to read books and, lately, looking out the window at “the city” (the grocery store behind our house) and any stars we can find.
But Sunday midmorning I was really dragging. I didn’t want them on the computer, or watching movies, and quite honestly, I was exhausted. So I crawled into my daughter’s twin (she has the coolest room in the house). Shortly after, they sought me out. Before I knew it, the three of us were on the bed playing. My son’s toy dinosaur was attacking the Red Power Ranger while Tigger supplied the magic potion to cure any boo-boos. After dinosaur had suffered enough, the books came out and we read. No one actually fell asleep, but we were there for about an hour and a half just having a fun, relaxing time.
In the rush and go of most of weeks (and sometimes weekends), this was the perfect mommy moment captured in my memory.
Awwww, I love those. So precious you saved it in a memory written down.
Miss you. C
