Always watching…

Y’all let me tell you it’s been a crazy two weeks and here I was thinking when 2/3 kids went back to school I may have some time to catch up on things! Boy was I wrong!!!!!! When your trying to catch up from anything it always seems like you take that 1 step forward and then 2 back, but I’m gonna keep going!!!!

So what I wanted to mention amidst all the chaos that has been, I’ve had a few moments make me slow down and say awe. One was the difference in people and companies and how crazy that difference can be sometimes! Crazy good and crazy bad, but it’s amazing to me how people act sometimes. That’s truly a convo for another day though.

What I was thinking about when I logged in to type was my littlest and how she’s been the epitome of how kids are always absorbing. She and I have had an adjustment to not having her sisters to play with her and it’s been hard. She’s so cute and has such a personality though. So the one day I finally tried to get a work out in and she whined because I took her tv to do this. However, as soon as my favorite Briana with BBM came on the screen lil bit ran to get her weights and do it with me. (Side note “her weights” are little 2 pounders I got for kid #2 who wanted to do the same but couldn’t use my 5 pounds, not trying to give my baby crazy muscles or nothing. They are more for pretend but still hurt when she drops them on my toe!!!) Baby girls 2 1/2 by the way and I’ve done these kinds of work outs since I was clear to work out after the pregnancy, so they are a usual thing for her to see and she gets more involved copying me all the time.

The second act of her proving she’s really paying attention when I think she’s not been was at church. We like to go to mass Saturday nights because it’s less crowded and usually a little more casual. Well, she’s usually just playing or coloring because to her all the talking isn’t for her. She started a while back singing one of the songs with us, but tonight she was praying the Hail Mary with us word for word!!! It’s not a long prayer but we always pray that at the beginning of mass. It was so cute to hear her little voice praying it!!! She also sang several more hymns with us today that she hasn’t normally done. Seriously, she was belting out one of the songs tonight that my older kids were looking at me in disbelief! They even thought how cute and amazing it was. We only hear these once a week y’all and I swear she never seems like she’s paying much attention. That just shows that she is paying attention and absorbing everything around her.

Start those good habits young, show them right from wrong from the beginning, they truly are always watching and absorbing and it’s freaking amazing!!!
