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.

Ornery 2-year-old

It's amazing when a tw0-year-old can talk. Emily didn't say much and I had no idea what she was thinking. I'm afraid that I know with Meredith.

Nathan's Conversation with Meredith:
N - "Your room is messy"
M - "That's ok. Mommy clean it."
N - "No. It's not Mommy's turn to clean it. Can you clean it?"
M - "Oh. Daddy clean it."

Meredith and I speaking this morning:
J - "Don't touch that."
M - "No, I touch that." And then she picks it up (a different item than I was talking about so I didn't stop her) and runs off.

And I'm supposed to raise this child when she's a teenager. Oh dear!
