sweet moments

Our bedroom, mine and Don's, is a place that I don't really let Brody play in. There is too much stuff for him to get into and it's not things that are safe. So I usually keep the door shut. Certainly there are times that he follows me in there. I let him mess around and then redirect him out. Well today he follows me into the bedroom and when I went in to redirect him he ran off. Our quilt was laying on the floor because I had stripped the bed this morning. He goes and falls down on it. I thought for a split second about picking him up and carrying him out but in an instant I decided to plop myself down on the floor beside him. In return I got a one in a million smile. We played a little bit on the floor. Then he got up and started running around again. So I tried directing him out of the room again and he did the same thing, so I layed down beside him again! The next time he got up he ran right out of the room. It was so precious. We have so little time when are children are small to cherish those precious sweet moments. We have choices that can create those moments or we can get back to work without realizing the opportunity that we missed. I am thankful that today I made the choice to create such a precious moment with my Brodes.
