Surrendering.

After reading a great article on the Power of Moms website earlier, it had me thinking about 'surrendering to Motherhood'. And I realised I needed to try this. So this afternoon while J was napping and the others while playing quietly in one of the bedrooms, I crept in and quietly sat and watched them play. I didn't speak or interrupt them, I just watched.

Elise, Nathan and Marissa were playing super heroes on a camping trip. Or should I say 'Johnny, Alice and Molly' were playing, as these are there make-believe alter egos.

Of course, Marissa (Molly) was drawling in a very thick American accent as usual when they are role-playing.

As I sat and watched it did choke me a little as, for once, it actually hit me that this won't last forever. Things will change!

I'm glad I took a few moments to just enjoy them at this time and make a note of it here.

I hope I will stop a little more often and instead of always rushing around, STOP, and enjoy being a Mummy.
