Sometimes I wonder if I am getting anything right as a mom. When you're in a season of referring squabbles and taking away privileges, it is easy to forget that kids really are listening. Perhaps more importantly, they really are watching. 🙈🙉🙊⁠⠀

⁠⠀

Next time I forget that, I am going to do what we did yesterday... load up the bikes, get away from the television and the computer, and find a place to get lost. (Seriously, we were on a trail that ran out of trail and we had to find it again... You can see more in stories.) ⁠⠀

⁠⠀

📺 Because my kids are not the only ones who need to disconnect to reconnect... so do I. It is in those moments where what we have is each other that I notice them rise to the occasion of helping each other.⁠⠀

⁠⠀

It is in the open space we created yesterday I noticed they do actually laugh at each other's jokes, they care what the other thinks, they never stray too far away from one another - and they pick each other flowers. 🌻 I get it now. #getlostclub⁠⠀

⁠⠀

🌟 They've always done those things. I just needed a change of scenery to appreciate it more. 👈⁠⠀

⁠⠀

So maybe I am doing some things right as a mom. Maybe I'm doing a pretty good job. ⁠⠀
