Lately, Joshua has been so much fun! This little guy is learning things so quickly and is watching our every move–for example watching where we store the cherrios! He has brought so much life and joy into our lives and when I look back at pictures, I just can’t imagine life without him.
I was talking to a friend this past week and sharing with her that at one point I was very scared to have children. I heard most of the stories from worn out mother’s talking about “loosing” their lives and the huge “sacrifice” that children always seem to be. There may be some truth in these stories, but far too often they forgot to mention all the joys, the belly laughs, the sweet way that your toddler gives you a kiss and hugs you, the way they love life and encourage you to do the same, the pride in watching your child learn. In my opinion, the mother’s I talked with forgot to mention most of these joys. I am always aware of this reality as I talk with mothers or mothers-to-be, that it is so easy for us to talk about the negative things in life but forget about all the great joys. Go to the link below and watch the video. As you watch the video, it may seem like a negative moment, but my husband and I still take joy in this moment and share it often.
