Noah teaches me something every day pretty much and I love it. Yesterday, for example, we just sat under a tree for a few minutes and took time to enjoy the view of the clouds and trees above us. It's amazing when you try to stop for just a moment in your busy life to try to see, experience, and enjoy the world like our little guy does. He just loves being outside and I love that about him! He is so curious and sort of studies everythingggg around him, taking it all in. Even the wind, he loves it and sticks out his toungue to lick it. This morning, Noah reminded Dan and I to just kick back and relax, as you will see in the photo below. Noah, by the way, is the best sleeper at night, sleeping usually 11-12 hours or so. He spoils us! Anyway, we went into his room this morning and saw this-- he was just chilling in his crib. Happy. Content. Arms above his head. Leg hanging out! It was funny and too cute. Only until he woke up and realized he couldn't move. Then he needed us and his daddy came to the rescue :)
So today, just take a moment to forget about whatever it is that may be stressing you out. When did we start learning that it's a good thing to be stressed anyway? Noah does not stress or worry about anything... other than making sure he gets his next meal:) Life is too short to spend our days worried, stressed, and upset, all of which we know cause health problems anyway!! I'm going to try to take my own advice today, since last night I could not fall asleep because I was letting myself worry about the future (the good ol' career vs. staying at home dilemma--but that's a whole other blog post to write about!). Lets live today like our little Noah: relaxed, curious, and soaking up and finding joy in the little things.
Have a happy, relaxing weekend!!
