you know those times when you just love your kids? they are talking nicely, playing nicely, being helpful or you see this increase in their talents that just makes you proud?
i find that those times of reward are too much about me. too much about me and what i want for my kids and not enough about them.
there are many an occasion that they are being or doing something that is so them and i don't appreciate it like i should because it isn't the way i would do things.
have you ever noticed that you do the same type of thing with your spouse? "um, what are you doing?", "why are you doing that?", "yeah, that's weird". think it or say it, i'm sure they noticed.
i might as well be married to me if i want zach to act like me and do things the way i do them all the time.
truly, i don't want to be married to me. that would be a terrible time. :)
this is one of those things we can gradually progress in. loving them. recognize things that are so them and watch, appreciate, enjoy. stop thinking about yourself.
love. them.
