Learning

this whole parenting has a crazy learning curve! Once you think you figured something out something else comes up. I've been in the process of quitting my job and it's getting me very excited to be a mom 100%! It will be so nice to just play and clean and teach and do without having that nagging voice in the back of my head saying, "don't forget all those ties you need to finish..."  It's going to be great, a little daunting but great!
Chris sent me a conference talk by Boyd K. Packer from 1986 called "little children" and lots of things really hit home! There are so many things I want to do and accomplish as a mom but I worry that I won't know how it won't be able to teach well enough. But today as I was running around with Lincoln playing the stop/go game, I realized a lot of the teaching will come natural as long as my priorities are in line. Today has been a good day with Lincoln. Very few outbursts and temper tantrums and the only difference is I spent time with him instead of putting him in front of the TV. Time!! I can't remember when it was given but Elder Uchtdorf said time is really spelled L.O.V.E. It completely true!!!!! Nothing else really matters. I found this quote today and love it!!!

You will never have this day with your children again.
Tomorrow they'll be a little older than they were today.
This day is a gift.
Just breathe,
notice, study their faces and little feet.
Pay attention.
Relish the charms of the present.
Enjoy today,
it will be over before you know it.
