Gratefulness

Gratefulness: What I am feeling today.

Being home with my babies means more to me that words can describe. I love being the one to do fun things with them, fix their lunches, read books at naps, all the mundane and exciting things that come with being a SAHM mom. Today at nap, I read both their books and laid them down. L has been wanting to read her big sister book but we keep forgetting so today as I laid her down, we took the opportunity and read it. I snuggled with her on her bed and read it. Great one on one time - the time when conversations are the best and usually most meaningful because she isn't fighting for attention from her little brother. We talked about what it means to be a big sister and how she is excited to help take care of the new baby. We also talked about how lucky the new baby is to have a big sister like her!!

Nothing beats being a SAHM. Even when the days get long - it's still the best job ever!
