Personally, I catch myself saying these types of things far too often to both of my kids. From time to time I catch myself and think wow, I tell my kids I love them more than anything, I tell my kids they are the most important things in the world to me - And YES they are! But as a mom I often tell them how actions speak louder than words. What are my actions saying?
I know I don't mean anything negative by asking them to wait. I mean I am just trying to get so many things accomplished, trying to be the best mom I can be, the best wife I can be, the best friend I can be, the best person I can be. I mean we do have so many responsibilities. But who is noticing my efforts?
Strike a Pose!

That is what Haley said to me last night - Strike a pose. I had no idea what she was saying to me and I was like huh? She proceeded to tell me about this preteen girl game where the girls will say Hey Haley Strike a Pose! Then they of course proceed with some fun silly girl dance and there are giggles all around.
When's the last time you giggled moms? I am super guilty of asking my kids to hold on just a second. But I am trying more and more to live in the moment and hope I don't miss out on some fun engaging opportunity with my kiddos!
Come on MOMS Go STRIKE A POSE!
Lol you are so right! We probably don't laugh enough or stop to be silly. I think we need to stop and be silly more often! Love your new layout! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin! I am still working on it and trying to figure stuff out!
