So this weekend I accepted the invitation to 'come and watch me mama' as this little one played and played making the rocket launch. I was invited many times and when I went to watch I intentionally watched. At his level. Talking to him. Making enthusiastic comments.
This
year I am making more of a conscious effort to have quality moments
with my boys. B.M.W.B (becoming the mama I want to be) is my way of
recording and hopefully inspiring other mama’s too. Please inspire me
with the little moments you are snatching with your little people OR
with ideas I could do with mine. If you have blogged about it please
leave a comment so we can all visit and encourage each other.
Simple. Achievable. Intentional: becoming the mama I want to be.

I think the focussed watching of our little ones is such a big thing! I always try to make sure I am watching when one of my two is doing something interesting - especially so they see me looking when they first look up to check. I don't want for them to think I'm not interested in their lives. I need them to know that I will always be their biggest cheerleader. Sometimes I find the constant-ness of it overwhelming - there's always something I need to watch! - but I am learning to become less selfish with my time and lay down my life (desires, wants, rather-be's etc) for my children's sakes.
love this post, miriam:) i think taking pictures does help up to see the little things that might have gotten overlooked:) enjoy him--he'll be going to college b-4 you know it! sounds silly, but, its true:)
It's my selfishness always that's taking a hammering
thanks lynn - they do grow fast - I can't quite imagine the highschool years yet but I know they'll be here fast
