Word's by Rory

I have been wanting to share things that Rory says on here for a while now, but just haven't gotten to it. I'm finally, sitting down and typing it out...

Last week the kiddo's and I were running errand's together, going to the bank, the post office, dropping off lunch to daddy, etc. As we were done and driving home Rory say's to me, "Mommy when I grow up to be a big big boy, we are going to get married." With a smirk on my face I say, "But I am married to daddy". "No! We are going to have a wedding and get married. Then you are going to the doctor and you will pop and have a baby girl, Piper, and Piper will marry daddy. Yeah!"
I didn't know what to say, so I asked "What about Finn?" he just said "I don't know, maybe Piper!"

I have heard boy's look to their moms as their one and only. This memory made me laugh, and now typing it out, I have shed a few tears. It makes my heart swell up, knowing that Rory loves me and how the love is unconditional.  This was so encouraging to me and made me feel like I must be doing something right.

Jared and I the other night were talking about how laid back we are as parents. How we do not let our kid's govern us on how our schedules should be, but they are along for the ride. Yes, we feed them breakfast, lunch, and dinner, some snack's in between. Yes, we try to enforce nap time, but we don't let it burden our schedule, bed time early! Yes, mommy and daddy needs time to ourselves during the day. There is time to play with our children and a time to not hover. We let them use their imagination by playing by themselves or with their sibling's or friend's. We allow them to wrestle, climb up the slide, run inside the house, jump on and off the bed. Yes, they might get hurt feeling's or some bruises, but these outcomes allow them to teach themselves. The world is their playground. Cliche, I know, but this is our way of being parent's. On that note we want our kid's to know that mommy and daddy make mistakes. We cast our pride aside, and we apologize for them. Jared and I have changed our minds so many times in terms of how we want to parent in different circumstances, but we are learning and our kids our learning too.

Gosh, thank's for letting me ramble.
