Isn't it amazing how, as a mom, the small, seemingly insignificant little things bring so much joy into our lives? Today I was in the shower with Anna (we don't have a bathtub) and her hair was full of shampoo. Normally I have to use a cup, fill it with water, and gently pour it over her head to rinse her hair. (Keep in mind we don't have a water heater, so we are talking about cold water here!) But today she leaned back and let the water from the shower run over her head and face. I was utterly delighted by this act of bravery! I chuckled to myself later when I thought about how much joy I received from that one little moment. It's good to be a mommy.
It seems like as they get older, these moments seem to come more often.
ReplyDeleteGreat Mommy Moment!
I love those moments! Aren't they great? I love having those moments with Kathryn! (With Anna too, but like Lauren said, they seem to come more often the older they get!)
ReplyDeleteI love those moments, too! There's nothing like them, I would never have realized being a mom was so rewarding!
ReplyDeletePlus, they do love bath time. :-) Or my daughter does, anyway. But then that's usually warm water... lol
That's so sweet... I cannot believe you guys have to take cold showers. BRRRR!! =)
ReplyDeleteCold showers seems scary to me lol but what a brave girl!
