As a mom, you question everyday – heck sometimes every hour, if you’re doing the right thing as a parent. Whether it be how you discipline your children, the tv time you allow, healthy habits, etc, etc… There are many days that at the end of the day you wonder…did I do anything right today?
Last night Ella had an especially emotional, whiny night. She was exhausted from waking up at 6am, swimming for hours and not resting virtually the entire day. She was driving me and her brother crazy! I’m really not sure how many times she got in trouble for something or another and we were both ready for the day to be over. I sent her into her room around 8pm to get ready for bed while I put Andrew down. (She gets herself ready at age 3! She won’t let me help at all. LOL) When I got Andrew settled I went in to see her all dressed for bed and getting one of her babies ready for bed as well. She then proceeded to go to her little rocking chair, raise her shirt and BF her baby as she rocked and sang a little song. She told me to be quiet because she was putting baby to sleep. A couple of minutes later, she quietly went over the the baby’s little bed, tucked her in and kissed her so gently on the head and then got into her own bed with a book.
Yes, this is one of those moments that as a mom you realize that you must be doing something right. : )

Those moments make all the whiney moments in the world completely worth it. So sweet!
