The little things. Doesn’t it always seem like they are always forgotten about. The little things in life that are so important and yet go unnoticed everyday because we are too busy worrying about the “big” things. The way your child’s hair smells, the way he sits while watching a movie, the way he lights up when his brother wakes up from a nap (or how he can’t wait to wake his brother up from his nap), the way he can’t wait to help you cook dinner even though it makes it take so much longer and so much messier. These little things will not be there in 5, 10, 15 years. They will not want us smelling their hair or want to help us cook dinner just because. They will be off with their friends, on their electronic device or too busy to want to hang with us.
If you haven’t yet experienced parent hood these little things could be anything from the flowers on your way to work, the smell of your morning coffee or the smile from your neighbor across the street. Those things won’t always be there, and if we get too wrapped up in the “big” things to even notice the little things, pretty soon they will have passed us by. Today take a minute to enjoy them!
