Little aha Moments

Tonight was a rocky one! It was a very noisy/emotional night at the Vrska's. At one point I had Kingston at one end of the house screaming and Taelee at the other crying that she wanted to get out of ACT (attitude change time). It was one of those nights that had me wondering if I am doing anything right as a mother?! Taelee had a melt down over something so small, and it quickly escalated when I put her into timeout. I turned on "If the Savior Stood Beside Me", and then went back to her after a few minutes. Aha moment number one, I knelt down by Taelee and asked her to say a prayer to invite the spirit back into her heart. Kingston heard the word "pray" and quickly dropped what he was doing and knelt down beside me and folded his arms. How grateful I was for that sweet boy and the effect of peaceful music at that moment! Aha moment number two came when I was kissing Taelee good night. She said, "Mom, why do we cry?" I gave a simple answer, when we get upset or are sad. She interrupted me and said, "No Mom, why do we cry?" She wanted the scientific reason of why we cry. Tonight I remembered how analytical her little brain is. I am so grateful for my little sponge of knowledge, and because of that It is my responsibility to teach her all the good I know! I am grateful to be a mother. I am grateful for the push that it gives me to be a better person and to do a little better every day.
Is it always easy? NO! Is it worth it? YES!
