I recently realized that I get to experience everything all over again, for the first time. This time it's from a different perspective. I'm sure that I do not remember the first time I felt grass on my feet, or the first time I went swimming. But now, I get to see what first times look like through my daughter!

If I am even a little stressed or sad I just have to watch her, taking in the world around her, and I am instantly smiling! She will walk around saying "wow, wow, wow!" Just because everything is so new!

You also get to fall in love again (and again) with your spouse because of the way they are with your child. So, If you are stressed or had a bad day, just stop. Sit down on the floor with your kids and do something. Get out crayons and color, listen to music, make animal noises and dance! The BEST thing...make them laugh! You can NOT be stressed when you hear that laugh!
