Gifts

After a long day at work

is there anything better

than the uncontrollable giggles of a 3 year old?

I am just glad he is choosing to laugh.

Last night we put him through

the horrors of a haircut!

I had to give up on the "Messy on purpose" look.

His hair had gotten so long gel would'nt even hold it!

I know a lot of us who chose to have children a little bit later in life sometimes struggle with being new parents. Take that back, I think everyone struggles, even if they won't admit it.

Those giggles, hugs, happy dances for things like popsicles, and kisses for no reason at all

can take a really crummy day at work, or a couple of temper tantrums

and melt it all away.

I'm so greatful this gift of a boy I was given has put so many things in perspective for us.

Stop today and think of some of the most simple things that  make you happy....
