The sprinklers came on in our courtyard the other day and Talmage wanted to run around. Yes, it's mid-October, but it was also in the mid-80s.
I love California. I love California. I love California.
Lately, I have to say a lot of no's. More on that later, but T and I have been in semi-war almost nonstop. It's been exhausting, and it's hurt my feelings.
BUT...
when he asked to run in the sprinklers, I got to say YES. And it felt so good.
He had fun running, I had fun watching, and by the smile on Evie's face I think he enjoyed himself as well.
It was a moment. And I loved it.
does the WAR ever stop? I feel like no is the only word i EVER say, so I can't wait to have fun yes moments like this! You're an AWESOME mom and I love you tons!
ReplyDeleteSister Hinckley said in her book, when speaking about raising children, "try to say "yes" whenever you can" I loved that motto.
ReplyDeleteRunning in the sprinklers in October was one of those moments. There was no reason to say no! Good job - sister Hinckley would be so proud of you!
