Kids are like sponges. They absorb all your strength and leave you limp. But give them a squeeze and you get it ALL back!- Author Unknown.
I think most parents will agree with this statement. We find energy when we need it at all hours of day and night, and just when we think we’ve had all we can handle, our kids say something priceless or give those spontaneous hugs that make everything right. For me it’s when my girls say thank you for the little and the big things I do for them, when they want to sit on my lap after dinner, and when I opened my planner and saw they had written a note to me at the top of every week for all of 2013! Yes, that rejuvenates me like no amount of sleep could ever do!
A longtime SpringfieldMoms Reader Tabetha P. shared a cute comment from her son recently: “Jake and I were spending time on the porch this morning, he turns to me and says: “So, you can sure tell that the brrrrrrr months are here, Septembrrr, Octobrrrr, Novembrrrr, and Decembrrrrr, get it mom”? I can honestly say is never thought of it this way. I learn something new from my children every day.”
Share those moments that give you fill you back up!
