Today has been a challenging day... my oldest son woke up with the stomach bug at 2am and we had quite a mess on our hands. With the hustle and bustle of taking care of four boys... especially one who is sick, sometimes I get too busy and overlook the really important, small and often fleeting moments of my kiddos. Going about my day with the EXTRA LARGE loads of laundry and sanitizing that comes with the stomach bug, I left our family room to switch laundry loads, and when I came back... (mind you, I wasn't gone but 3 minutes tops) my littlest munchkin was fast asleep on the floor! This may not be shocking to some, but in my household it is! Of all 4 boys, I have never had a little one just fall asleep anywhere... until now!
Why was this so significant to me today... not only did it make me stop and ponder a bit on my precious boy sleeping, he is truly beautiful to ponder, but I was reminded to be thankful! Even though my home has been invaded by the stomach bug, my children are healthy and happy. My husband and I have not been given a bill of health that is fatal, nor have my children. So... thank you precious "baby J" for reminding your mama today that life is short and I have so much to be thankful for... this stomach yuck too shall pass!
