How many times have I lost patience with her, when she insists on walking like a big girl? How many times have I hustled her through the store, lost her in Produce, and told her to hurry, hurry up?
More times than I care to admit.
Why the rush? A million reasons. None of which are any good.
And how many times did I tell her no, no time to ride the horse?
Well, I won't ever tell her no again.
Look at that triumphant face. Look at what 120 seconds bought her. Look at what I have been missing.
No more, baby girl. I won't miss this again.
Keep taking your time, and reminding your Mama to slow down. To appreciate you and to make time for life's sweetest things.
Aww, look at that happy girl... AND the hat : ) Thanks much, that made me smile, too!
