Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

The Chicken Story

My girls, of course, LOVE nursery. I think that is the most helpful thing while we are getting ready. If Emily gets unmanageable I just say, "Do you want to go to nursery?" And then I tell her what she has to do in order to go to nursery. Like get dressed, or sit still, or put on her shoes, or even that she can't cry. Meredith is such a good little girl during nursery, she listens really well to her teacher and doesn't wander around (at least from what I've seen).

Emily's favorite part of nursery is the chicken. Her nursery leaders think this is just so funny. When they get out the toys they will hide the chicken sometimes when they don't feel like having Emily cry when she has to put away the chicken before we leave. I thought that by now she would be over this because for a while she had to have her bear and her camel go to bed with her. She hasn't done that in a long time so I just figured it would be the same with carrying around the little chicken EVERYWHERE with her in the nursery. She holds that chicken during singing time and snack time and through the lesson. Now that I think of it, we had a chicken just like that. Is that our chicken? Maybe I'd better check, LOL.
