I often find myself rushing, rushing to clean the house, rushing to do the laundry, rushing to feed the babies or make dinner.Then every once in a while this thought crosses my mind and it hits me like a ton of bricks "My babies are only small for a little while and I need to stop rushing and savor these fleeting precious moments with them". I need to stop whatever I am doing and hold my two year old when she wants to be held (since that isn't very often), stop and lay on the floor with my six month old (who has become use to playing on the floor while mom is running around trying to get things done), and take that extra few minutes to hold them when they fall asleep in my arms.
I have heard it said before that in 20 years from now I will not remember if I had dishes in my sink or if I had a sticky floor, but i will remember the times I decided to stop and soak up those precious moments with my sweet babies!!
So today the world is going to have to wait, because this morning I woke up with a very happy baby next to me and I am going to stop and soak up this wonderful moment!!

This made me tear up a bit! (but if you tell anyone, I'll deny it) I have had to remind myself more often lately of this same thing. Thanks for the precious Reesey pics!
I don't know why it is so hard to slow down and love on our babies more! I know that this is something I have to make a conscious effort to do daily...I love these snuggly moments.
Soooooo adorable! Love, Love, Love your precious post.
