| working on letter sounds |
Raspy three-year-old morning voices...
...snuggling in bed with a five-year-old who can't seem to fall asleep by herself...
...Reading through a science book with eager listeners...
...excited delight over the simplest things...
...watching chicken scratch writing become beautifully rounded letters over the course of a couple of weeks' practice...
...hearing new words form from a hesitant voice...
...making a whole batch of cookies and not having to freeze any...
...Never-ending piles of laundry...
...people asking "are these yours?"...
...playground trips...
...snuggling on the couch to watch Pixar or Milo and Otis...
...hearing, "Can we go swing?"...
...dancing in the kitchen to Celtic Woman or the Sound of Music
til no one can breathe anymore...
...children's catechism questions...
...watching two little girls play dress-up all day long...
...little girls using my scarfs for make-shift evening gowns...
...learning everyday how to be more patient...
...puzzles, Dr. Suess, coloring books...
...always having someone to talk to even if it was about nothing...
...Vacation Bible school songs getting stuck in your head for weeks...
... a reason to get up before 7am...
... a day full of funny little sayings...
and so many other things!
These are things I miss, but now they are also the things that I look forward to.
