Why My Children Make Me Proud

Often times in the busyness of life and everyday things to do-- be it work, preparing meals or doing errands and chores, and just the million and one things that moms (and wives) do to run a household, we tend to get caught up in the "craziness" and tend to focus on the little and seemingly unimportant things that our children do to make us proud. I am guilty at times when I catch myself scolding my kids for this and that, and then realizing.. hey, this is no longer healthy. Sound familiar? I bet it is. You know what I do? I take a moment (even just a few seconds will do) for myself and remind myself that children don't think the way I do, and therefore do not act in ways we expect them to. Breath in. Breath out. Now smile and tell Kuya to "please don't do that." :)

These past few weeks have been quite hectic but precious moments spent with my little ones and how fast they are growing and blooming can't help but make me feel soooo proud!! Our eldest, Santino, who has been part of a number of wedding entourage's in the past has NEVER walked down the aisle. And I mean never with matching bawling and tantrums refusing to wear his coat and tie. And so naturally, when he was asked yet again to be part of a friend's entourage last week, my husband and I found ourselves talking to the couple to actually think of having another bible bearer instead. I guess the soon-to-be newlyweds had much more faith in him than we did coz they insisted. And to cut thr long story short, my husband and I were floored when Santino not only wore his coat and tie (YESS!) but he ALSO walked down the aisle by himself and even posed for pictures!!! Even to this day this thought bring such a smile to my face!  I was over the moon that day.  Just goes to show that you can't really limit a person's capabilities and believe in people because good things will happen when you believe and trust in people you love. :)

Our Bible bearer!!! :)

Super good mood. Posing with Daddy.
