To My Beautiful Children

To My Beautiful Child

7 Mar

To my beautiful children,

It has been far too long since I’ve written a letter to you and I want you to know my favorite things about 19-months-old!

Being a mama is the craziest thing because I’m tired to my bones and so exhausted sometimes that I’m not sure who thought it was a good idea to give me such a huge responsibility. I think to myself that God sure had a lot of trust in me because I feel so imperfect. Then other times I feel like I have it all under control. The more I think about it, the more I think that’s how motherhood was designed to be. It exposes my biggest flaws and forces me to work on myself. It’s hard, but the best and most worthwhile things are that way, aren’t they?

Your little bodies bring me so much JOY!! I pick you up and hold you close whenever you will let me. I love that you say, “ready, set, GO!!!” and your little legs speed up as you race across the kitchen. I have a smile on my face right now just picturing it. I love that you get SO excited when I pull toys out of the closet that you act like it’s your first time playing with them. I got out the Little People today and I loved watching you two sit by each other, placing the Little People in the doll house. You said they were going “Nigh night.” Sometimes when I get Goldie out of her crib after nap time or in the morning, you say, “hooray!!” while pumping both fists in the air. It’s such a great reminder for your mama to seize the day and be excited about it! When I get Harris out of his crib, you always say, “biket.” You LOVE your blanket and you love to cuddle it and use your pointer finger and thumb to pick at while you hold it. It’s a cute little habit you have. My favorite thing is when I get you from your nap or am taking you to your nap, and you lay your sweet head on my shoulder. Those blonde curls, little boy!!

A few favorite moments lately:

  • We walked into Costco and I put both of you in the shopping cart. Sometimes I just leave you in your stroller but I forgot the stroller at home so luckily Costco has a two-seater shopping cart. We walked in and Goldie looked around, very pleased at what she saw, and said, “I liiiike it!!” It was the first time I had heard you say that, Goldie!! I started laughing! You like to say it when you are eating something delicious and it makes me laugh every single time.
  • Goldie has said, “I tired” a couple times lately and I’m like, yeah girl, me too.
  • Harris hugged Goldie in the shopping cart at Costco and then she nuzzled right in and kept putting her head on his shoulder.
  • Harris and Goldie walked around the kitchen holding hands and it melted my heart into a puddle.
  • I took off Goldie’s diaper to get in the bath tub and she started shaking her little bum like I’ve never seen her do. Like bath and forth nice and slow. I started laughing my head off and she knew she was being funny and loved being a little clown!
  • I told Harris and Goldie that it was my birthday month (hello, March 19th), and Goldie literally started singing “Happy Birthday!” I just about died. “Birt-day You!”
  • Goldie saw a star at church on Sunday and said, “star.”
  • I realize that I’m saying a lot of things about Goldie right now but it’s because she’s been talking like crazy!! It’s blowing my mind.
  • Harris’ giggle is the cutest thing of my life. He is such a big boy!
  • We walking in from our walk the other day, I gave the babies each a small bag of goldfish, and they sat next to each other on the ground and started eating them next to each other. They’re relationship kills me!! The best.

I love you, my angels. Thanks for being patient with me and loving me always, and thanks for allowing my patience to grow. You are my greatest gifts.

Somewhere along our way, we picked up the belief t Somewhere along our way, we picked up the belief that questions weren’t okay. Maybe it’s because we had an experience that made us feel dumb - we asked a question and we got made fun of. We then picked up the belief that we’re already supposed to know it all, and that when we question, it means we are inadequate. That questioning is unsafe.

Kids ask questions constantly, so they learn constantly. They haven’t yet taken on the belief that they need to know more than they do right now. Because how could they possibly? It makes sense. They’re curious and ask all of the questions in all of the ways.

Let’s do that.

Let’s ask the questions. In every way. From all the angles. And then focus on where we are turning for the answers because WHERE we are turning matters. I think God will guide us if we ask Him. He knows how to speak to us in ways that we will hear, but only if we turn to Him.

He’s got us.

Questions are EVERYTHING and I want to live to my last day with a million questions that I expect answers to in His way. He’ll show up for me. And I’ll know He’ll show up for you, too. 🤍 #parcellsundayselfie 6/4/23 #sundaybest #christianposts
Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a m Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a mom to twins and now mom to 3! Why I love it:

🤍 The car seat and stroller seat rotates so it makes it a great place for baby on walks and other places like restaurants because I can face him where I need to! He can be facing towards me as I’m seated or avoid sun in his face on walks!

🤍 I love that the car seat pops directly into the stroller base. If he’s sleeping I don’t have to wake him up and it makes going ANYWHERE so much easier and gives me so much less anxiety when I take my crew out and about 😅🤍

Let me know if you have questions! #orbitbaby #sponsored #newbaby #momhacks #momlife #stroller #travelsystem

Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary talk to speak in church what his favorite part of church was, and he answered honestly:

“The treat at the end.”

I laughed and laughed, and I also realized that this truth spoken from his mouth was spot on.

I pray, and I write and I listen and I study because in those moments is when I can hear Him.

I see Him in truth everywhere. He is in all things. His lessons are gently whispering in the textures, the smells, and the relationships I give my energy to.

I put forth effort by my small acts of showing up and telling Him I’m listening and His spirit is the “treat at the end.” And during. And before - even when I sometimes don’t notice it quite yet.

🤍🤍🤍 Happy Sabbath my beautiful friends!!! His knows you by name. He sees you and hears you and ADORES what He created - you. 🤍 #parcellsundayselfie 5/21/23 #sundaybest
