Learning from your kids

Yesterday I went to my first MOPS meeting. It was so great. I got a chance to meet so many wonderful moms! It is amazing how adult conversation in the middle of the day can make you feel:) One of the many questions we talked about was "What has your child taught you?"
One of the things that we said was joy in the little things...so true. Caden taught me another one yesterday. I picked him up from the nursery and he was not feeling well at all. He was crying and I could tell that he did not feel good. We got home and I laid him down for a nap. As I was laying with him, he would look at me through droopy eyes and smile for a second and sigh. He repeated this several times before he finally drifted off to sleep. What I am learning from this aside from the fact that it was so sweet, is that even when things are bad just smile, and breathe, and know there is someone way bigger than you taking care of you! Thank you Caden I needed to be reminded of that today.
