Grateful

Last week, after I taught music to the 4th graders, I was talking to one of my teacher friends. She had a baby about a month after Tyler was born. She is really feeling the stress of being a working mom--trying to do it all, but barely keeping up. I feel for her. I know I wouldn't handle things very well at all.

So today I'm so grateful. I'm grateful for a hard-working husband who makes it possible to stay home.

I'm grateful that I get to dance with Tyler to our favorite toddler tunes.



And I'm grateful that Tyler cuddles with ME.



I'm grateful that Tyler falls asleep in my arms as he drifts off to "puppy land" (as Darrell puts it.)



I'm grateful that I'm that one that gets to check on him during his afternoon naps.



And that he wakes up to see my face.



I am so grateful.
