Delight in the little things

Lately when I put Megan down for a nap, she gets all snuggled up in her special blankie on her big girl bed, and she starts giggling. As I give her a kiss, she says, "Thank you noodles," or whatever we had for lunch. She says it so cute, I just love it.

Today we follow the normal routine. Blankie. Giggle. Kiss. "Thank you corn dog. Thank you ketchup." Thank you ketchup? That makes me laugh! A whole new meaning to delight in the little things.

Then I go tuck Lily in for her nap. She gives me a big hug and says,
"You're my best mom ever. I love you so, so much that you make me think about you the whole time I'm sleeping."

It's times like this that I know how lucky I am to be able to stay home and share the little things with my children. I love being their mom!

How cute are they? And how in the world do you get Lily to still take a nap?

That is so cute. It's so nice to have those rewarding moments.

I'm jealous... when my kids think of me while they're sleeping it's called a nightmare! :) You're such a good mom!!!
