Mommy Encouragement

Moms experience different seasons with their children. There are seasons where I feel like hitting my head against a wall because I feel like nothing I am teaching my children is sinking in. Then there are seasons where I see the fruits of all my labor. Today I entered one of the fruitful seasons. Jordan started saying please today. I have tried for months to get her to say please and she just wouldn't. But today... today was the day and I can't help but smile every time I hear the sweet word leave her mouth. It comes out more like "bease," but that makes it even better! It was just the encouragement I needed! The other encouraging, monumental, super exciting event of the day, actually night, was Luke sleeping through the night for the first time! Nothing lifts a mommy's spirits more than eight hours of uninterrupted sleep! Oh yes my friends!!! Two and a half months of trying to teach him healthy sleeping and eating habits has paid off!

So the lesson here... DON'T GIVE UP MOMS! All of your hard work will pay off, even if it takes months to see the fruit! :-)
