They usually appease me and I pray I stopped to do the same when they were young. I am not sure how time goes so quickly. You are such a wise and loving mother and teacher. Enjoy these moments!josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742496766733889823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280184331853779442.post-24580460545549741212012-03-07T19:02:39.980-08:002012-03-07T19:02:39.980-08:00Kelli - What a gift you gave both your son and you...Kelli - What a gift you gave both your son and yourself! I know I tend to wear blinders when I have a huge to-do list, and I forget about the small pleasures in life. I love the idea that you stayed present in the moment. Yay you!!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549453373381775445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280184331853779442.post-73648261238100454672012-03-06T18:03:42.514-08:002012-03-06T18:03:42.514-08:00Kelli, You have beautifully captured something so ...Kelli, You have beautifully captured something so important. I could so relate to your morning. My youngest is now 17 and I miss those "Scrabble Turbo Slam" opportunities. When they do arise (and they still do once in awhile), I know that I can't pass up those moments. Stacey is right, the work will always be there. Little ones grow up very quickly. Thanks so much for sharing!Julie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497758310228642932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280184331853779442.post-5193540177376785642012-03-06T17:54:09.003-08:002012-03-06T17:54:09.003-08:00I wrote about choosing the kids (Anna Quindlen quo...I wrote about choosing the kids (Anna Quindlen quote) on the first day of the Challenge. Sounds like you did just that this morning. To do's will always be there... your inbox will always be full. But your little guy will not want to play games with you that early in the morning when he's 16. Glad you savored the moment.Stacey Shubitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903206728640184043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280184331853779442.post-15051403930823361322012-03-06T17:43:03.512-08:002012-03-06T17:43:03.512-08:00Kelli, I loved the line "I learned about bein...Kelli, I loved the line "I learned about being present in the moment--of putting the "being" with my children ahead of everything else." Thanks for reminding me too that those "things" can wait because they will always be there, but those children grow up and go their own way so quickly and we can't get those moments back! Lovely slice!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354083359235768995noreply@blogger.com
