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.

Helpers

While I was making lunch Meredith was helping the bear with his lunch.

"Eat your rocks, bear. Eat your rocks." As she's taking rocks out of her purse to put on the table in front of the bear. Then...
"It's not yucky, kid."
(hmmm. That's something I hear coming from me. Especially to my very picky eater, Emily.)

Then, while we're eating lunch Emily says, "Mom, I want a baby brother."
Me: We're having a baby sister
Emily: I want a baby brother, Mom. (not anytime soon kid!)
Me: Are you going to help me with baby sister?
Emily: Yah.
Me: Are you going to help me feed the baby?
Emily: I'm not mommy, I'm Emily.
Me: Are you going to help me hold the baby?
Emily: I can't. Baby is big. (As she holds her hands out for a 35" baby. I certainly hope not!) And I'm thinking, "what a helper."
Me: Are you going to play with the baby?
Emily: Yah.
(great. Come 8-9 months I will take her up on that.)
