Her fourth day in the same pink tutu dress….. at 9:55 pm….. I let her jump on the bed. Too many times we expect too much out of our little ones…. too many rules… too many dont dos. Sometimes its ok to just sit back and let them be little. Let them relish in breaking the rules a little… let them jump for joy…. so tonight I let Addi jump on my bed and I just watched & listened…. to her squeals… her giggles… until she wore herself out.

You will never have this day with your children again, tomorrow they’ll be a little older than they were today. This day is a gift, breathe and notice, smell and touch them; study their faces and little feet and pay attention. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today, mama. It will be over before you know it” – Jen Hatmaker
