I am the first to admit that flexibility/spontaneity don't exactly come easily to me!! While motherhood has definitely helped me grow in my ability to be flexible, it still can be difficult at times! So today I am grateful for a spontaneous moment we had this morning.
On a typical morning, we go through our normal morning routine so that we can start school at 8:30am. But upon waking this morning, Faith asked me to help her finish the puzzle we have been working on. She received a 750 piece puzzle for Christmas, and we made great progress on it yesterday. Even though I knew that finishing the puzzle would put us behind schedule for the day, I am glad that I had enough sense to say, "Sure Faith!! Let's finish it!!"
And we did!! Since I really enjoy puzzles, the two of us had great fun working on this puzzle together! It's a great reminder to me too that sometimes the schedule needs to be put on hold to have a special moment with the kids.
