It was lunchtime yesterday and I was scrambling around getting it ready for the girls while they were both whining/yelling at me for things that they wanted such as "milk", "no, water", "no, milk", "forks", "the purple cup", "No! Not the blue cup!", you get the picture. I was frustrated and not being very patient. I finally got it all together and sat down with them while they began to eat their food and was enjoying the quiet of the moment.
Elizabeth all of the sudden said, "Thank you for taking care of us, Mom. We would be sad if you went to school with Daddy every day."
I said thank you to her with tears in my eyes and said a silent prayer of thanks for these sweet girls who teach me so much.

Wow I can't wait for Paige to talk just for those words!
Moments like that make the hard mommy moments all worth it....I love that.
That was an excellent description of lunchtime chaos. Demands, demands, demands. Amazing that Elizabeth actually said just what you needed to hear.
I really needed to hear a sweet story like this: my day is brighter now. Thanks for sharing.
What a little cutie! We miss that little Elizabeth and everything she has to say!
That was very cute. And I am showing, at least I feel like it. Mostly when I'm naked. But I try to wear bagier shirts.
Wow! Don't those moments however few and far in between make it all worth it?!
