So today my kids cracked me up… We went to the local children’s museum just to find out that it’s not free on Sundays anymore (DRAT!), so we just let the kids play around in their courtyard area instead. They all decided to race and my charming DD crouched down and proceeded to shake her little butt and wiggle it around. This, in turn, made my middle kid do the exact same thing. It was sort of their “runner’s stance” I guess. 🙂
Anyway, I said, “On your mark…. get set….” and suddenly my littlest (15 months old) did the SAME THING! Crouched down, wiggled butt… haha So then before I could say, “GO!” they were already on their way to the finish line (a tree about 15 yards away).
On their way back, my daughter gave a ton of enthusiastic high fives to my husband, followed quickly by my middle kid, followed slowly by the baby.. So sweet!!
Later in the day, on our way home from dinner, my oldest son asked me, “Mama, when you die it will be long time from now?” I told him that yes, it’d be a long time until I die. He immediately burst out with, “YAAAAAAAY!! A LONG TIME!! I *love* YOU MAMA!!!!!” and my daughter said, “I LOVE YOU TOO!” and my baby just squealed in delight because he had to be included too. <3 So precious. Sometimes they really help me remember why it’s been worth all the sacrifices to be a mom the past 6+ years. 😉
