It's All in the Small Things

So since having a little one I have learned to cherish the small things in life more. Each smile, each tear, each laugh and each milestone. Well, this evening is no exception. Following a long day with our dear friend Cecile, I abruptly "dumped" Samantha Grace off onto Daddy. (Note: She had napped a total of probably 30 minutes the entire day, and it was now 5:30 PM.) As I sauntered up the escalator of our church, I took a deep breath and exhaled a prayer to God of hope that Samantha Grace would be sweet to her daddy.

After a 30 minute time period had lapsed, I was greeted at the top of the 3rd floor by Daddy and daughter. Daddy came with a huge grin on his face to resemble that of a mischievous 2 year-old child. I promptly asked, "What happened?" Which spawned upon a gigantic force of laughter. Daddy reported that Samantha-Grace decide to "clean-out" her diaper bag, upon which she discovered her Apple Bits. (To those of you unfamiliar with baby world, Apple Bits are dehydrated pieces of apple or otherwise known in our world as Mommy Savers.) Briefly following her discovery, she took it upon herself to make a "shaker" out of the bag, but much to her amazement, surprise and joy the bag dumped all of the bits onto the floor.

Daddy reported that he turned to check on her and found her gracing the floor like a dog seeing how many apple bits she could get before he discovered her. Needless to say life's enjoyment truly does happen all in the small things of life!

I hope this brings much laughter to your day!
