This morning it was 8:45am and all of a sudden a realization of what I was doing hit me. My house was quiet in the background I could softly hear Christian music coming from my kids' room and across my chest and body wide awake but calm and relaxed was my 16 month old in his diaper. I was reclined back and bit, rocking him softly, and lightly rubbing my hand across his back. I find myself close to tearing up! I am so blessed to have the opportunity to just sit and hold my little boy... no rushing to daycare or work or obsessing over the clutter scattered around or anything else. Just blessed to be able to take those quiet moments with my little boy who is growing much quicker than I like to admit! Sometimes it is very easy for me to forget the blessing of being a mom who gets to stay home. Thank you Jesus for the quiet moments when we realize how good you are!
*side note- he did greet me at the top of the stairs in the buff! diaper laying in the hallway, luckily had a full diaper and not a wet spot on the carpet! oh how i love when they learn how to take their diaper off*
i am not saying anything to hurt or offend working moms by any means! i find myself wanting to work and have that instead of enjoying this opportunity while i have it.
