A Mommy Moment

Blake has long days of class on Tuesday and Wednesday and so it is mostly just Jaylee and I all day. Most days I realize that I worry Jaylee is bored with me and so I try to find things to do for her. I guiltily look forward to nap times where I can have a moment to myself to shower or be get some things around the house done. Usually when I hear her start to wake up I think oh no just sleep a little bit longer. It was on one of these long days when she was starting to wake up from her nap that I had the same thought of oh man I wish she would stay asleep when I realized something...I needed to be grateful for the time I have with her in this stage that she was in now because it wouldn't last very long. I realized she had already grown up too fast and I wanted to slow down time to keep her little forever. I decided right then and there to be excited and I ran in our room (she sleeps in our closet haha) and showed her that I was excited she was awake. I wish you could have seen her face, it was a mixture of my mom has gone crazy and the thought of I kind of like this craziness. We spent the rest of the day dancing, running, reading, jumping on the bed and other crazy stuff. She helped me make dinner...eggs her favorite...and I gave her her little bowl and she walked right up to our table and put her bowl there and said "UP". She sat on her own chair ( we are going through the independent stage right now) and we ate dinner together. It was a fun night and when Blake got home after we put her to bed I started telling him about how cute Jaylee had been that day and I broke down into tears! Blake just laughed and started crying too and we both talked about how big she was getting. So now I try to make everyday count, and enjoy every moment I get with her and Blake

Oh P.S. the day after this great mommy moment day, Jaylee was jumping on the bed and she fell off and bonked her head...on the nightstand...not a good mommy moment. Dang I guess we all have good and bad days!
