Small Examples

Today I made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for me and my son. He wanted to help make the sandwiches and while doing so, he kept reminding me that the knifes are scary and to "be careful Mommy." Next we sit at the table and I hand him his food, he replies "thank you mommy," and I smile back at him. He continues "say your welcome mommy," I laugh and reply with the appropriate response. I know my son is super hungry because I hear his tummy growling so I start to eat and he stops and says, "oh! mommy, I say prayer!"

Sometimes I forget, as life is quickly rushing by, my son is soaking up everything. Anything he can see, hear, or touch, he is filling that curious mind. I also forget that he is doing all this while watching my every move. It's small moments like these, where I am so grateful that even in the midst of the bad habits I have, he still manages to grasp onto the good ones I try to make regular. What a small but huge example my wonderful son is to me during his little years of learning and making sense of the world, because I should know better :)
