Summer is here. Summer, which is now dictated by a school schedule and not the yearly calendar or the heat or the start of a season, but summer, the time in which my babies come home with me, all day, every day… for nearly three months.
Three months of a busier schedule this year than I would like, but three months where I will vow to do my best each day to enjoy them where they are, love them far more than necessary and appreciate every moment our hot sweaty summer days together.
I will fill them with goodness, love them fiercely and unconditionally and work on making sure that they fully understand that they are enough… just the way they are… just by being them. (thankyouverymuch Ms. Winfrey)
We will spend days on field trips, spend days in pjs, spend days in bathing suits. We will get dirty from painting all day and get dirty from playing in the yard on other days. On both occasions, we will rinse off only in the sprinkler.
We will swim, we will boat. We will read, we will run.
We will just be. And I will try my best to be the best mom I can be. I will remind myself of the choice I have to make each day… to fill their summer days of childhood with smiles and beautiful memories.
Thank you, Summer… we’ve been waiting for you.
