Found Time

When your a working Mom with a two year old and a five year old, getting individual time with them doesn't happen often. I had started feeling like I wasn't really communicating with my two year old, because it's easy for the five year old, to monopolize our conversations.

Recently, we changed part of our morning routine and now my husband takes our oldest to Y camp and I take the youngest to daycare. I have to tell you, those fifteen minutes in the car with our two year old each morning have become priceless. I have enjoyed visiting, singing, and pointing out new things with him.

This morning we sang "Jesus Loves Me", over and over and over. I loved the way he hit the last word of each line as loud as he could and even though I still can't understand him completely, I understood he was singing. Being so interactive with him, warmed my heart and started my day perfectly.

It reminded me that we need to make the most of each moment. When you work full time, your a wife, and your a Mom, you have to make each opportunity count. My car ride to work, with my boys, will now be one of those precious opportunities. We'll sing, I'll point out motorcycles, tractors, we will play Eye Spy, this found time is about them.
