These Are The Moments




It may look like good ol' wrestling, however it is something more. One of those moments that tug at a mother's heart and makes her so grateful God allowed her to be a mother. It is seeing her children interacting and developing a loving relationship with one another that will last a life time and beyond.
~
The story is as follows:
~
After dinner, Ben gave Reese a big hug. She wanted a kiss as well. He bent down to kiss her and she rubbed her nose on his nose. It's something I do with my kids. I started it when Ben was tiny. I still do it to this day with each of them.
~
That got the laughter started. They rubbed noses and laughed and laughed.
~
Novelty wore off a bit. They were tired.
~
I was holding Reese. Ben asked if he could hold her. I agreed and handed her to him. He carries her around, and before you know it, they're rubbing noses and giggling all over again. Ben was laughing so hard, he could barely hold her upright, so he waddled to the couch to lay her down as they continued rubbing and laughing.
~
I love these moments. These are the moments that make all the hard work worth it. I am glad they have each other. I am glad I have them.
