--k and whit's first day at the same school. They talked about how they saw each other and after school care and I get all teary because they are finally together and have each other now when I can't be with them. It warms my heart.
--the way k beamed today when I picked her up from dance. It was her first jazz class and you would have thought she just won a million dollars :)
--the arms wide open run whit have me when I picked him up from school on his first day... It was a precious moment and then her ran right past me and went back to get his book bag ;) oh well, I enjoyed it for a minute!
---and my favorite thing of the week so far...which might sound dumb to you... K walks to her room after we read a book and I hear "goodnight whit" from her room and a sweet "goodnight Kennedy" reply from his room.... Tear, tear..
Moments of being a mom are hard. There are times this summer where I have looked at my children and wondered if maybe they had morphed into some alien creature instead of the precious child I know. I have cried with worry over them. I have stood over their sleeping selves and prayed and prayed. It is my favorite time to pray for them, just watching them sleep. I loved swaying whit at night when he was a baby. I would just sway and pray and cry hoping them moment would last forever. Time passes and life gets in the way. I am ok with the passing of time because occasionally I stop and breathe it in. I take their childhoods and soak in the moment we are in. I leave my house a mess and play with them. I wish I did that more. I wish I could only worry if I was spending enough time with my family. I wish I was a perfect mom with a gentle spirit that could handle anything that is thrown at me. I wouldn't call my spirit gentle by any means but I will thank God for blessing me with clarity. Tonight I was filled with such peace. I was given a precious moment to sink in, and all it was was hearing my kids tell each other goodnight. Two miracles, simply saying something to each other, but to me it was if I had heard the most magical words. Mom moments are so precious. I am thankful each and everyday to be a mom to these two. Tonight I am thankful for the memory of that sound, just sweet brought sister words that blessed my heart. I hope you always know that you are blessed to have each other Kennedy and whit. I know I am blessed to be called your mom. :)
