Write it Down!

“Lilly bullied around Lucy again all day and Lucy bullied around the puppy which made for another day of tears and time-outs.  Oh the joys of being stuck inside on a cold rainy day.  I did get to spend some extra cuddle time with Lilly at bedtime which seemed to settle her down and bring out “Nice Lilly” again.  I walked downstairs to hear Rob asking Lucy to get him a beer out of the fridge while he was watching the NCAA tourney.  I watched her walk to the fridge, open it up, then proudly bring her dad a bottle of soy sauce.  He was so enthralled in the big Duke upset that he almost popped it open and took a gulp.  I have to admit that would have made a great ending to this rainy day.”

That took me 5 minutes and when Lucy is a teenager I can pull out my journal and show her these silly things she did when she was two.  Believe me, if I didn’t write them down, this great stuff would be lost forever in the complex cobwebs of my brain.

I love this mommy’s post that captures a sweet moment with her daughter.  It’s really not hard gals, grab a journal and get started.
