The best part....

Of being a stay at home mom, and having one of those tag-a-long child.
Is being able to have one on one time with them.
Today it was reasonably pleasant outside. So Jesse and I went outback to just have some fun with the dog. Jesse wanted me to push him in the swing. He was laughing so hard when I would push him. It was so fun. I didn't get a picture of him wish I had my camera with me. It's these little moments that happen that make me realize why I am a stay at home mom. I get frustrated like I am sure every other mother has gotten ie: sick of laundry, cleaning the bathroom and so on. Sometimes we get stuck in our ruts and it takes days like to today to remember why we do it.
Swinging on the swing only cost me a little of my time. Nothing else how priceless is that. 5 Min's of uninterrupted time with my 3 year old.
I love him and all my kids but today makes me really glad that I had him and the joy he brings to us. Sometimes in the way of crazy wanna pull your hair out joy. But none the less he brings our family joy.

Because I have my own three year old son I totally relate. Thanks for the reminder to slow down.
