My little Abigail girl is teaching me so many things. I am grateful for that. She has been referred to as: a little firecracker, She’s the boss applesauce, spit-fire, hot-head and there are more. But most of the time I find myself amazed at the little person she is becoming. She knows what she wants. She knows how to get what she wants. I have learned a great deal of patience in allowing her to have her feelings and not getting in the way.
I just found a quote that I feel pretty much sums up life with her in the family: “While we try to teach our children about life, our children teach us what life is all about.
Abigail often allows me opportunities to slow down and appreciate things more. Today while I was chatting with my mom on the computer she came and took my hand and said come on mom. She led me to the rocking chair, and told me to sing. We enjoyed singing some of her recent favorites: Old McDonald and Popcorn Popping. Then I started tickling her and laughing. I know it should be easy to find moments to enjoy quiet one on one time with the kids but sometimes once the day gets going I forget to just sit down and wrestle and play and appreciate all the blessings I have.
I am glad Abigail is demanding of my time and helps me to see what life is all about.
