Time is precious and every second spent counts… I was out half of the day today and all i could think about is what i could be doing if i was home with my children. I work during the week so weekends are precious to me. They are our family time. One of my co-workers brought me some children books that his son had outgrown, so Julian had me read every one of them first thing when he woke up this morning.
I should be proud, really that i have a son that wants and loves books. He is at the age where he understands the story line and transfers that knowledge everywhere. We came from church Sunday and he stood outside looked at the sky and just stood there, then he called out to me and said, mama that’s a seahorse! Lord and behold, that cloud was really shaped like a seahorse. I could go on and on about him and how big he is getting, and i am truly proud of him.
He has come a long way, from the kid who was always shy and quiet in his daycare class… I am sure if his old teacher would run into him now she would be shocked. He is far from quiet and knows a whole lot more. I am so big about teaching your children what you know, taking about 10-15 min a day just reading to your children, and making learning fun. When we are in the car we count objects, learn about the color of the car passing by, or read some road signs etc, so engage your child every chance you get. Children understand way more than we give them credit for, or challenge them to.
So enough with Julian and now about my Eli, Eli, Eli…That is all i call out most of the day when am around this ever mobile boy. He has pulled my hair, bite my fingers, pulled my clothes, drooled all over his brother, and making bubbly sounds all day. He is all fun to be around. I just look forward to when he falls asleep on my shoulder after a long play time. I can count his little heartbeats, the sound of his breathing, and at times snoring. I look at his face and he is absolutely peaceful. I love them, and yes those moments are priceless but quite memorable.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend, it sure passes fast!
