All For A Smile

i think heavenly father must have a really long list.

on this list would have everything that i said "i would never let my child do that"

during my teenage years i think he would have chuckled to himself every time that sentence came out of my mouth because he knew each one of my children would do just the thing i said "they would never do."

as a mother you have expectations of how you will raise your children and how they will turn out.

but then this little person comes into your life - who already has personality all of his own.

then all the things you said you would never do go right out the window.

especially for just 3 minutes of silence, or interrupted blogging time or that extra sleep.

today i let my boys do one of those things on my list.

jevan would still not let them - lucky he works.

i packed their swimmers, towels and headed to rouse hill town centre for them to play in the fountain.

they had a blast.

i'm so glad my children have taught me how to let go of expectations and just enjoy life for the moment.

every little smile, giggle and belly laugh is worth breaking your own rules.
