Reminders

It's so great when we get little reminders of why kids are so dang lovable. I need that every now and again. I get irritated with their shoes left on the floor and dishes in their rooms when the rule is "no food upstairs" and when they go to bed without doing the one thing I asked them to do...the list could go on. Of course there are so many proud moments as well, but these little silent, obscure moments are my favorite. Look closely at this picture and see if you notice anything. This is the table in my entryway.





Now notice this sweet little pink monkey lounging in the leaves of my lamp. There's no way he got there by accident. How perfect of a place for a monkey!! It really is great to be a Mom.
