As a mom we have to step back and realize it's those little every day moments that make it all worth while. Others see the big changes (starting to crawl, walk, talk etc...), others see them grow, others see the big things
But as a mother we are in the "trenches" every day. We have to step back and look at the little things and realize... it's the little things that matter most
The smile of your baby

Watching a toddler play

Seeing your family enjoy a laugh together

Watching your child concentrate on learning

Seeing an infant discover new things

Being there to see the interactions of the others in your family

Seeing the creativity of a toddler

Finding love in the little things


You are exactly right!!!!
