Mom challenge update

Since its been over a week since I started the Mom challenge, I thought I would update you on how I've been doing with it so far. Day 1 my daughter requested to go to the park. So we did. Day 2 I have 420  weekends until my daughter graduates and 575 until my son graduates which puts things more into perspective and has helped me really focus on spending quality time with them while they are little. I found this little ditty that helps to remind me of how quickly my kids grow up.
Day 3 was to focus on Patience which ironically I had in short supply this day making my conversations with God very frequent this day. On day 4, my child graciously did not ask to do very much but we did do puzzles, played games, and just goofed around but nothing crazy. My favorite so far has been Day 11, I love listening to my children laugh from deep in their bellies and its even better when the reason they are laughing is because of me!
So far this challenge has been good for me to help me focus more on the little people in my care and less on the fleeting things of this world.
Have a great month and Happy Mother's Day!
