It's all about perspective

After sharing the events of yesterday, I feel I have to share today with you. First let me say that in yesterday's post I forgot to add that on Tuesday they dumped an entire pack of taco seasoning in the playroom! Millie and Lizzie both rubbed it in their eyes. It was a huge mess! I caught them with a box of mac n cheese and I went to put it back and when I came back they had dumped the seasoning everywhere! So, as I said yesterday, it's been a week! Today is Friday and that helps my perspective but something else helped me today as well. I know that at least some of you out there are praying for me. I can feel it. I was putting my make-up on this morning and Elleigh was getting dressed to go have lunch with a friend (sushi-my picky child and sushi!). However, that could be a whole different story. I have finally taken a different approach and she eats a lot more variety of foods now. Just ask her what happens when you complain about what we are having for dinner! Eat it or do without! They really won't starve! Back to my original story. Elleigh walked into my bathroom to ask me how she looked and no kidding her life flashed before my eyes. How did my baby grow up so fast? I couldn't answer her for a minute because my mind was spinning and suddenly my perspective on dealing with mischievous toddlers changed really quickly. This time passes so fast. Too fast! Now I am not saying that I enjoy getting them out of mess after mess but it made me realize that they do grow up and these phases pass and then there are other issues. May I embrace every stage that these wonderful girls God has entrusted me with may go through knowing that our time with them passes quickly despite the days that seem never ending.

Of course once I was finished processing all that I grabbed my camera! My beautiful firstborn! You are beautiful inside and out and I don't tell you that enough! I love you Elleigh!!!
