"I love my life." I thought to myself as my 2 year old, Peter, rested his head against my chest. It was a long day full of battles waged over willful defiance and noncompliance. There were moments today when I wondered when it would ever end, but just before naptime as I asked him to pick out a book, he grabbed "Green Eggs and Ham." Thank God he shares a love for great literature! How can you stay mad at a cutie like that: his giant blue eyes, his bleach blond hair, and loving spirit wanting nothing more than to cuddle up with me and read a book.
I love my little boy. I love that he loves his little sister more than anything in the world. I love that her face lights up more for him than anyone else. I love that I have the precious opportunity to be with these two wonderful people day in and day out. I love that I get to share this job with the most wonderful man I know who just happens to be my husband! I love naptime, storytime, and cookies and milk. I like pointing out planes, trains, and fire trucks. I love searching for bugs, lizards and pirate treasure. I love my coffee in the morning with the "Little Einsteins." AND the most wonderful thing of it all is that I serve a God that has put me here in this life that I love so much!
My life is good. It's so good I want to capture it all and share it with the ones I love. SO here it is Day 1 of the chronicles of life from my perspective... I hope you can enjoy it with me!
