Just for fun!

As a mom, there is so much happening in a day. From cleaning, car pooling, exercising, meal prep, activities with kids. My days are maxed out daily. Today felt different. I held my youngest for 6 hours. She is sick and we are waiting for test results. So today, I did everything with the one hand... made supper, typed, cleaned the house all with my 35 pound kiddo in my arm. After an exhausting today, I sat on the floor, she on my lap, and we made 'train tracks'. It was so fun...just to sit and play on the floor and play 'Thomas'.
It was so fun just to play. Today was a great reminder to enjoy the moment.

Aw, little one is sick. So sorry and hope that you can figure out what is happening. But again, in the midst of it, you can find the silver lining. Glad you enjoyed playing train tracks with her.

We get caught up in our lives and forget that sometimes we just need to play with our kids. I totally need to play more often. Hope little one feels better soon and you get results real soon!

a good reminder. I am always amazed at how much I can actually do one handed~with.my.non.dominate.arm! Who needs the gym, right?

It is so sad when little ones are sick, but the blessing is we get to hold them and cuddle them up!! Hope she feels better soon!
