List of things I love about my children these days

How much I love that Rebecca is making me laugh a lot these days with her singing and dancing.

How thankful I am to my husband for working so hard which allows me to stay home and capture all these little and big moments.

How much fun it is watching the girls ride their bikes.

How much the girls' conversations during their rest time entertain me (when they don't know I am listening.)

How Emma is really showing interest in wanting to read.

How I am learning from Emma that change can be hard sometimes for a kid.

How much the girls love swimming.

How much the kids want to grow up and at the same time stay little girls.

How they treat every stink bug in our house like a pet. "Look Mom! There's Stinky."

How much they are enjoying watching our five caterpillars "Squirmy, Wormy, Mortimer, Fuzzy and Wiggles" turn into butterflies.

How, even though Rebecca needs albuterol to help with this cold, it makes her super hyper and super funny.

How much my kids love doing crafts.

How much the kids love the long days of summer so they can play with Daddy after work instead of going straight to bed.

How they love watching the garden grow with vegetables that they planted.

How they are enjoying helping with chores around the house, while at the same time learning how to do these things as they will become their chores for life;)

How they love me smelling their stinky feet and laughing when I make a yucky face.

How they are becoming empathetic to others.

How much we are all looking forward to a summer filled with family trips.

They are truly a blessing and even though there are days where I feel like pulling my hair out, I am so thankful that God has given me the honor of raising two children. I pray that they will grow into compassionate and caring individuals. But for now, I am enjoying the little moments during the days that put a smile on their little faces.
