My Constants




I should have posted this long ago.

Ally has transitioned to Pre-k amazingly! She enters into the room everytime with her big girl attitude, a hug and a kiss and a wave goodbye. For those of you who remember, Ally never LOVED going to "school/MDO." There were tantrums and crying and only every now and then she was ok. It was hard to watch and to leave her crying for me to come back. But in the end, she has grown into herself and into her new world of Pre-K, of new friends, a new teacher, and a new room. To be honest, I didn't expect it to go so well but everyday it has been a blessing to see Ally's new attitude of "I can do this!"

In a world that pulls me up and down, this way and that, it is reassurring to have some CONSTANTS in my life. And writing about Ally's new attitude about school, I realize that it has amazingly become one of these constants. It is something that I can count on now to be OK. Here are some more of my constants~

1. The amazing grace of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
2. Answered prayers (Example: Ally's attitude toward school!)
3. My husband will always love me.
4. My children will always want to cuddle after bath and they will always ask for ice cream but not always get it! :)
5. My girls will always need me.
6. The sounds of Hunter's cries when I leave the room~ :)
7. The love of my family.
8. Good friends.
9. Laughter at the end of the day....as the girls run around to entertain Hunter as I put on her pj's.
10. Easy nights.
11. Sleepy mornings.
12. Shoes on the floor in every room, it seems.
13. I am ALWAYS out of SOMETHING.
14. Maddie and Ally's little voices singing in the house, in the car, in a Target near you!
15. Oh, and (drum roll....) LAUNDRY!
Just to name a few....

Thank you Lord for constants, each and everyone of them!
