Moments

As a description for my blog I have the quote...

"Be Happy for This Moment,

This Moment is Your Life."

I love this quote.

I was so happy when I found it.

I have to remind myself

(more often than I'd like)

that this is the life I've chosen

and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I had a "Moment" the other night.

I had fallen into a fitful sleep around 11:30.

At 2 am I was woken up by a very angry 2 year old.

I went to check on him.

I'd never seen him like this.

There was pure anger poring from him,

in his cries, his body language, his scrunched up face.

I asked him what was wrong and he continued to rage.

I asked him if he was mad.

He answered in the affirmative.

I asked him what he needed.

He looked up at me and said

"I need you to hold me."

I quickly agreed.

He crawled into his bed,

grabbed his "softy"

handed it to me

and up went the arms.

I gently lifted my little ball of anger

and held him close.

His head immediately hit my shoulder

and we swayed.

I felt his little body relax and knew he was fine.

I kissed his cute little neck

and he looked up at me and said

"Thank you, Mommy."

I've had many a 2 am wake up

usually with a very unhappy me as a result.

This "Moment" was beautiful.
