Today is Mother's Day. I've had the best day ever. I even got a cuddly nap with Liam in the afternoon after church. That was big plus. He's starting to co-sleep at times, which I really like. He still goes to sleep in his bed, which I like, and then, usually in the middle of the night, he will come to our bed and cuddle with us. The difference now than before is that he actually sleeps and doesn't disturb me as much.
In the evening I did the kids' Mother's Day projects. I bought some canvas like fabric and some ink pads the last time I was at the fabric store, and used the ink to make little footprints on the fabric. I had Liam in my lap and at first, he was a little apprehensive of getting ink all over his foot, but then thought that it was fun.
Between the prints, I found this poem that I wrote:
I'm following in your footsteps
and I don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they're hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Mommy,
For you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Mommy,
For I must follow you.
When I first read it, it almost brought tears to my eyes. I really do need to slow down for the kids, especially Liam and the stage he is at, and when I hand it on his wall, hopefully this will be my reminder.
This is what it looks like so far, I still have to get some custom frames for it.
