In the hustle and bustle of the daily grind- the never ending clothes to be washed and put away, the grocery list that always has something else to add to it, the book bags to dig through each night- I have been reminded in the last few days that these quite possibly are the best days of my life as a parent. Although everyday is not extra fun or quarrel free, I have realized that our problems now are easy and simple. One of my good friends quoted, "Little kids, little problems. Big kids, big problems." I am currently fretting over a few missed spelling words and a rash on the back of a leg. We have also had to worry over a chunk secretly cut out of hair and bucky teeth from sucking fingers.

In the years to come I can only imagine how the needs of our children will change. In every reaction we have now and every choice we make for them, we are setting an example for them to follow. The way we react and respond to their current quandaries will be their guide for the future when things are bigger and harder. When the choices are no longer ours to make, I hope our children will be equipped to make choices that will lead them in the right direction.
Thankful for these days.
