Each week I take Miss L. to a music class.
Can you picture it? Little toddlers and their mommas singing songs, clapping our hands, dancing with scarves, playing instruments….it’s awesome.
Miss L is in her element during music class. Especially when the teacher gets the scarves out…
Pure joy is watching my two-year-old dance with floaty, colorful scarves. Twirling. Dancing. Singing.
She looks so sweet and happy. And that makes me happy.
I don’t know about you, but I’m good at reminding myself of all the things I may not be doing right as a mother.
But in those moments of watching her dance with the scarves, I realize that I must be doing something right.
I need start reminding myself of the things I’m doing right.
Like reading bedtime stories. Saying our prayers together each night. Singing songs together. Telling her I love her about 100 times a day. Kissing her cheeks more times than I can count. And making her eat her broccoli before she gets to eat chocolate chips.
Yes, I must be doing a few things right.
Let’s all try to remind ourselves of the things we’re doing right today.

You are definitely doing something right! (I read this while picturing L. marching to the Ants Go Marching in her car seat. The best!)
Ha! She was being such a stinker that trip…I’m glad that’s what you remember! 😉 xo
That is so true- I am generally only telling myself the things I am failing at…and perhaps my perspective on failing is a little skewed? Love this post…and your beautiful vignette!!
Thanks, sweet friend! 😉
i’d love to be there with you two… drew would be so fun in that situation too! you’re right, we’ve GOT to remind ourselves of what we do right!!!
love that photo of the books!
Thanks, Jen! I love that pic too! I wish Drew and L could play together…I have a feeling they’d give each other a run for their money! Ha! 😉
What a sweet post. Now that my boys are finishing college (one is finishing his Masters in Music Performance, and the other is in his final year of law school), I too, feel I did some things right. I cherish memories of them as small children, but love the outstanding young men they have become. It is true they really grow up in a blink of an eye. Enjoy every second (even the ones that aren’t so enjoyable at the time).
Thanks,Sherri. It sounds like you must have done quite a few things right! 😉 I look forward to seeing L grow up to be a young lady, but I do try to step back and just observe her being a little, funny person.
Love this pretty little vignette! So perfectly fall and September! Just pretty! Yes, you are doing right! 🙂 Happy Monday, April!
Thank you, Amber! 😉
