Sweet precious children

I haven't written in a few days. I have been super busy with life.

My children are my joy. I love them with all my heart and I often wonder if I am making life good for them. Well Yesterday I got my answer.

I am the PTA president at the kids elementary school. I have quite a few things going on right at this moment in time. One of them was Parent Teacher conference dinner (we provide dinner for the teachers) and Book fair (which happens during the conference). Well I had a friend come volunteer to help at the book fair so I could go to my kids Conferences. She also watched my other kids while I was with each kid at their conferences. The first conference was with my son, so I left my girls with my friend and went to his conference. When I got back, my friend told me what my girls did.

My youngest was really tired (way past naptime) and so my oldest daughter laid down all the coats on the floor of the room they were in, then she went and got a book off of one of the shelves at the bookfair and read it to her. After she was asleep she put the book away. My friend told her that she was being so sweet. My oldest returned with this "Well I just want her to grow up and be happy in life, just like I am."

Hearing that makes me feel good. I was so happy that they are being taken care of and that they feel loved and happy in life. It makes me feel like a good mom. I will forever remember this.

(p.s. Our bird died today, my oldest had a really hard time with it, but she is going to be okay, I think our next adventure will be fish.......)
