Little moments

     Yesterday was a day of little moments. Moments that made me laugh, ponder, question, cry inside, smile and most of all feel grateful!!

     I know this happens everyday but I was more aware of the moments this time and it was a good reminder to appreciate all the things in life. I want to share a few of my moments with you!

     Laugh: my boys were playing superheros and Karson asked Caden how old he was. Caden's response 50 Karson says well I am 44 ha ha then they both decided they wanted to be 44!!!

     Ponder: I was talking to my mom and she mentioned how in her classroom's they are having/experiencing a lot of behavior problems. (She is over headstart so these are kids 3-5) the teachers are at a loss of what to do. The reality is these kids and kids everywhere today are having to deal with a lot at s young age. More then I ever had to between 3-5 yrs old. How much the world had changed and what can I do to help and raise my kids how to deal with life.

     Question: Karson had a melt down today after he got a toy at Goodwill and he found out it was not what he wanted. As he was having this major melt down I found myself questioning my parenting with him. I started asking questions of myself on what are his needs that are not being met and good can I help him get the help he needs. Theses are questions I dint have all the answers to but they are questions I need to ask so that I can help my son.

     Cry inside: my sweet Karson is struggling. His emotions are super intense and it is usually anger first. Today towards the end of his meltdown he started to open up and recognize his other feelings and he told me his body is just so frustrated all the time and that he doesn't like it when I tell at him. It broke my heart! This poor little guy feels so deeply but can't figure out how to handle it. He acts out and I end up losing it because he tries to hurt or bother everyone else and then end up adding to the problem.

     Smile: I got to hang out and watch my niece this morning. She was so cute and fun to have around. We went to a park and met up with my cousin and her kids and I got them all together to take some pictures!! They were so cute and goofing off. It made me smile!!!

     Grateful: this was the feeling I had most and ended the day with. As I lay here next to my sweet healthy baby girl I am so grateful for my family! My kids, husband mom and dad, brothers, sister's and friends. I am blessed to have great people in my life and to have an amazing life full of these precious moments. Moments that remind me why we are here to experience and learn what this life is all about!! Grateful I am on this journey from 3 to 4!!!
