The little things
Sometimes I feel like I won’t feel happy with motherhood until my children are grown and living good lives of their own—when my job is “done.” But not only is that kind of silly, it ignores the fact that I can be happy as a mother today.
And sometimes the things that make me happy as a mother are the tiny details that make a day go easier:
- Hayden’s sippy is full when I get it out of the fridge
- Hayden asks to read a book instead of watch TV
- Hayden counts (two, pour, pie, tih, ten!)
- Hayden goes down for a nap or bedtime peacefully
- Hayden eats something after he’s asked for it.
What are the little things that make you smile and make your day go easier?
