You know the phrase "Sometime you just have to stop and smell the roses?" .....Well I've been thinking about life in general alot lately. Do we really stop to do this? I look at how we all get so caught up in "life" that we don't actually appreciate what we have. I look at my son and think.....how simple life is to him......how the smallest and silliest things make him laugh. Only if life were really that simple........ but at this time, for him it is and down the road that will probably change so I make the most if it for him now and myself! So if I have to make silly faces or jump around like a nut then I will! To hear that belly laugh, that true "it's so funny mom!" laugh, then so be it!

Lately I have been reading so many stories of children on the internet that I've learned to appreciate what I have so much more. Not that I didn't before, it just kind of reemphazied everything. I guess I never really paid attention to how many sick children were out there and reading the stories written my the mom's makes it so much more real. I've clicked link after link and read each story. Then I look at my little boy and just want to squeeze the living day lights out of him! I have been blessed with a healthy, happy child and I thank god for that everyday.

So for now, I'm going to live the simple life with him and not get so caught up in this chaoutic world we live in!!
