Today I am thankful for crying kids - and the lack thereof this morning!
Nearly everyday for the past week or two, one of the older two (Breck and/or Adelaide) has come running out of the house when I leave for work to:
1. Say they need a kiss and a hug
OR, (and this has been more prevalent, and what melts my heart:)
2. Come screaming out of the house to tell me that I forgot to give the other, or Ainslee, or Mommy a hug and a kiss.
Mind you, in the past two weeks, I have never failed to give anyone a hug or a kiss, unless they were still sleeping - and with 3 kiddos under 4, that HARDLY ever happens.
On some days, this has been frustrating because I am hurrying, or I worry about sending them back to Amber crying and upset - but overall this reminds me that my kids LOVE me!! And, not only do they love me, they love EACH OTHER, because they are worried if their siblings or mommy haven't gotten their share of love from Daddy.
This morning, I was able to escape with no cries.... (I did have pass out 5 rounds of lovin' before I shot out the door!)
So, I am thankful that my kids make me feel love and accepted, even when there are days I might forget or not feel super loved and appreciated!
