I love what comes out of the mouths of babes, it is so fun to listen to the thoughts and wording that children say. Whenever I lay down with my almost three year old to put him to sleep, I tell him I love him, and he told me yesterday, "I love your face, I love your hands." It was so sweet to hear the details of his thoughts, I think even sweeter than from a significant other. I am not a mushy person, and my daughter is a smotherer, I hope she finds a husband that loves unlimited hugs and kisses 24/7. I tell my daughter I need a break and to go play! I do make an effort to give them big hugs and kisses especially when they wake up at the crack of dawn, we are not in a rush, so I lay around with them and take turns. My sister in law had told me about giving 20 second hugs really transfers energy from one person to another, http://www.tydknow.com/did-you-know-that-a-hug-that-lasts-for-20-seconds-releases-oxytocin-which-can-make/.
Ohh the things I keep learning as a mother, as a woman, as a wife, as a person. I am always in awe of how it is important to be open because creation is always happening, we are always birthing our creative ideas as well as babies.
Take the time to listen to the magic, genuine, unconditional words of your children, they say it with an innocent truth without asking anything in return. Unless of course they are a bit older and want to watch a show, or buy an outfit, or go somewhere fun.
Never a boring moment!
