Amazing things in my life

So I was just looking and watching and playing with my little girl today and realized she's not such a little girl anymore. She's potty trained and such a big helper. She doesn't want my help with anything anymore. "No, mama, me do it" is her newest thing to say. She has to go potty herself (and when she wants to), washes her hands herself, brushes her teeth herself (tho not as well as I would like her to, at least she is trying I guess). She also insists on getting the diapers for my daycare kiddos. She will actually get angry with me when I do it.

I have had such a stressful week this week (as had Steve) but we still managed to have some great family time together last night. We took Gracie to the fair. Steve won her a little stuffed monkey and I took her on the carosel though she wouldn't ride on the horse, she just held on to the post with me holding her. I just think about what a great life I have. I have a wonderful husband who works hard to provide for us so that I can stay home and raise our beautiful little girl who amazes us everyday with all that she is learning and doing. For a while I was so upset at the thought that we might never have another child. But I realized this week that it may be better if we don't have another one. I have been extremely stressed this week caring for the 3 month old that just started with me and I think about how it would be if I had another one to care for 24/7. Not that it would be terrible if we did, but I just really am enjoying Grace and spending time with her and just being her mommy. I think it would be so much harder to be a great mom if I had another to care for and split my time with. I greatly admire the women who have numerous kids, they are my heros. I also pray everyday for my friends that have struggled with fertility issues, between not being able to get pregnant to not being able to carry a pregnancy to term, it happens all too often these days and my heart goes out to those women who haven't been able to experience this wonderful gift from God. I just hope that they all realize that even though they may not be able to physically carry a child, there are so many wonderful kids out there for adoption that need good homes provided by women like these who have so much love to give. Please know that all of you are in my prayers.

Well enough of my rambling thoughts here. God bless!
