Two little snippets from my ordinary yet very blessed day. Matthias was napping in his swing and woke up and clearly wanted out. I had just showered and was hoping to get dressed and put some make up on. Matthias fell asleep again right after I picked him up. That is my sweet baby. He just needs snuggles sometimes. Look at that sweet little smile on his face. I just sat there for a while soaking it all in. Babies don't keep, right? These days are fleeting.
Eric and I were going to buy the boys sleeping bags later this month for our trip to see family for Thanksgiving. We decided I should buy them now so they could use them on the trip to Southern California. This way there are no worries about them falling out of a bed. The store had Lightning McQueen sleeping bags. They were so excited. They held them the entire time we were in the store. Once we got home they opened them up right away and they both are sleeping in them on top of their bed right now. Seeing such delight in a child's eyes is priceless.
Our lives are made up of these ordinary yet very special moments. I feel blessed to be these boys' mom.

I like "baby's don't keep". So true. I've got just the one, but I also struggle with everything I want to get done or feeling like I need to be doing 15 things instead of sitting with my kid. Yesterday, I realized I was jealous of Jason's ability to sit still and snuggle with Grace and the only reason I don't get the snuggles is because I don't slow down. Time to change that! Other things will have to wait.
