Blog Your Blessings Mom to One
September 16, 2007 12:13 am Blog Your Blessings
Lately, dh has been taken everyone but Dababy with him to practices, and today, he took them again to the afternoon/evening games. We have a bag with the equipment in it (and I really should throw a few medical supplies in there, just a couple of bandaids and an ace bandage, maybe one of those new fangled ice packs) and he just grabs it and they take off. I have had a houseful for so long that playing mom to one is …. interesting.
It’s quieter, and I get to spend time snuggling and watching and being with just her. It’s frustrating because she’s used to a houseful of company, and a lot of stimulation, so she demands a lot of attention. It’s really cool, because when she sleeps, as she did TWICE yesterday, I can do other stuff, like sew. BTW, she has totally claimed the quilt I am working on. OTOH, if she needs help, there’s not another set of hands here, so it’s all on me. Different days, different seasons. Just different.
So that’s my blessing this week … time with just one.

I only have two kids…so far…but there are times I miss just having one. The snuggle factor, I loved it when my daughter would snuggle with me and take a nap.

Alone with the baby! What a great blessing and a nice image for me to start my day with. Think I’ll go cuddle my one and only right now!

A bigger blessing might be a day to yourself? You amaze me.

One of my favorite blessings is a new grandson. (our first grandbaby) He is six weeks old and is so precious. Our daughter, s-i-l and the baby are planning to visit us this weekend and I am soooo excited. I can’t wait to cuddle with my grandbaby.
