What a great start to what i would have otherwise imagined it would be otherwise. Its amazing how kids can easily put a smile on your face no matter what is going on in your life. How innocent and genuine every action they make. This morning i was treated to one of those moments. My daughter Mikaylah is the first to wake walking into the living room looking for her dada while rubbing. She climbs into my lap with her juice cup in hand. Usually, she motions to the cup asking for more juice. Instead, she raises her head of my shoulder and roars/ growls like a animal. This is hilarious to me because even though i know she can say a few small words, i know this is her way of saying; "dada i want to see dinosaurs". don't know what i would do these days without the internet tv shows and videos. Since i was already sitting in front of the computer I decide to put on some interesting kid friendly videos for her to watch.
Shortly after finding a long enough video for Mikaylah to watch while eating her breakfast, I hear a faint noise followed by a giggle. Now i know a lot of babies tend to wake up whining but I'm pretty sure it wasn't one of those times. Lil E (Erykah) is now waking up. I go to the room to make sure that I am not hearing things and peek around the corner. I can only imagine what is so funny to 5mo old. She must have been dreaming we all were at disney world after her dada won the lottery! lol . . . that might have been my dream. She then spots me hanging in the doorway and gives me the biggest beautiful smile. One of those smiles that could "charm the birds out of a tree" as my mom always says.
Every morning is not a "kodak" moment like this but it is days like this that remind me of why i give up so much for my kids. Why I love staying home with them and sharing these special moments.
