This was my son yesterday evening.
We were expecting company for dinner and we were working together to get the house ready.
Javi took it upon himself to windex the glass doors.
I was chopping and cooking in the kitchen when I noticed him there.
And I ran to grab my camera...not because this is a rare moment, but because this is such a beautiful thing to me. My son, taking initiative and cleaning the windows without being told. These are moments I hold on to. They make my mama heart sing.
It's so easy when they're little to forget that one day they will be grown.
To think that I am raising a future man. Wow. It never ceases to amaze me.
Dear moms,
Remember that one day your small children will look back on their childhood. They will remember what you are teaching them, they will remember what it was like to be a child in your home...what memories do you want to give them? Just thinking about these questions makes me consider some things I want to do differently today. What about you?
Teach them to work hard.
Smile at them and enjoy their company.
Before long they will be starting families of their own.
