I know I haven’t been good at regularly updating the blog... I hope to do better...but for today...I just wanted to share some of my thoughts
this afternoon.
A few things uplifted my soul today… watching Emylie swing outside in her toddler swing and 1)feel confident enough to let go and stretch her arms and just enjoy the ride (she said she was flying) and 2) for her to have enough core strength to let go and keep her body stable in the swing.
Another moment was watching Emylie play with her Lightening McQueen car on the floor and scoot along as she tried to push the car and tow the toy telephone behind McQueen. And then about an hour later….walk back into the kitchen and see the car and phone lying on the floor and realize how hard Emylie had to work to get them there.
It is amazing to me how much joy there is to be had. I don’t think I always see it this way with my other kids. If they leave their toy out I don’t think what their body had to go through to get it there and smile. More often than not I catch myself thinking “ahhhh, I wish they would put their toys away when they are done.”
Emylie teaches me. She helps me see life clearer. I am incredibly blessed to be her mom!
