Mommy Stop

This is going to be just a short, sweet,  reminder to stop and cherish the little moments with your kid as I was asked to do today.

I was running to and from my aunts house getting laundry done, cleaning up the house and cleaning the car. You know the normal in and outs of being a mommy. While my son was watching tv and running around the house playing like he always does with my little miss sitting in the car seat watching all of this playing on her own. Then out of no where while I was helping my aunt clean her house, my son stops running, turns around, grabs my waist, and says "Mommy hold me" Yes my crazy almost 6 year old son stopped and wanted my undivided attention.

  I don't take the time very often to just cuddle him since my little miss got here and today I did. He took that moment to remind me he's just as important and just as in need of my attention as she is. I have forgotten that along the way of my new adventure in life. Today I was reminded that I need to stop and take the time out to really care for my children, not just tend to their basic needs. I need to hug and hold that hug a little longer. Give a few more kisses and a few more open ears.

Take this time to stop what you are doing and give your little ones a little more attention. Hug them a little tighter and let them pull away before you. Instead of placing them in front of a tv, sit down and play a game with them. Take your little one in our arms and tell them that you love them and don't forget to really pay attention.

In closing, I hope that the actions my child took today will help you reach out to your little one the way I was asked to as well.
