Let them be little

This song makes me a little misty eyed every time I hear it. My dear friend Christine owns a preschool and she played this song at Aubree's graduation and I cried. I think that was her goal since she knows I hate to cry in public. I have a really ugly cry face. Anyway, to my point. This morning I was changing Luke's diaper. Luke is 3 and refuses to use the potty. He loves his diapers. I have tried treats, gifts, stickers, clapping for him, kisses, hugs, phone calls from Santa, telling him all his friends do it, and even Elmo potty time DVD. NONE have worked. He watches the DVD and is so happy for Elmo and his friends but it just does not motivate him. I don't know why I want him potty trained so bad. I had to ponder it a little. Does it reflect me? To be honest, that can be the answer. I am prideful...I think?!?!? I don't want others to think I am lazy and just not trying. I am, he is just not ready. I love my little Lukie! I will keep trying and I am sure he will be trained one day. If not, he might have a hard time finding a wife! Okay, back to "Let them be little". I listened to that song today and it made me think. I need to not worry about things that will happen in time. I need to and want to enjoy the now. I love that my kids are still little, I love the pure love in their hearts, I love to watch to world through their eyes. Life is good and Luke will not be in diapers forever. I hope! Ha! Ha! Here are some random pictures we took the other night just before settling in the basement to watch a movie as a family. Ryan ended up going to bed about 10 min. into the movie and Luke played with his trains and then fell asleep on Daddy's lap. Aubree watched the whole thing and then begged to sleep in our bed. My neck still hurts from being kicked off my pillow! No kids in the bed tonight! Who am I kidding? It will start off that way I promise! :-)
