Parenting Perks

Parenting is a hard job, and somedays as a Mom you just don't feel like anyone appreciates what you are doing to keep the family running smoothly. There are those little things that your children do that put a smile on your face or make you chuckle and remind you that yes, it's all worth it.

Kaiya loves to brush my hair and I love it too. She runs for the brush whenever she sees me sitting on the floor. It's so relaxing and she is quite the stylist. Notice the headband across her forehead. Recently, I asked her to wash my back while I was taking a bath. She spent fifteen minutes soaping and rinsing. I kept asking her if she was done and she kept saying "not yet, mommy." Almost put me to sleep.

The kids occasionally will come out of their rooms in the morning already dressed. It's nice if you don't mind the ensemble they've selected. Kaiya will usually change clothes three or four times before the day is over.

Love those red shoes...and the shirt looks great inside out with the tag in the front!

We were at the library last week in the magazine section. I was looking for the latest Family Fun magazine. Kaiya spotted this one at her level and said "It's you, Mommy...it's you!"

Well needless to say, I walked out of that library feeling pretty good about myself thanks to my daughter. Hilarious!
