This is Why I was Late

Tysen and I were running late this morning. I was rushing around changing diaper, feeding breakfast, picking out clothes, makeup, hair, teeth, seat belt, diaper bag....(you get the picture). We finally get in the car and off we go to keep our appointment.

On the corner (coming out of my street) There is a little ranch and the horses were out today...up close and personal! I was about to drive by when from the back seat I hear a little animal sound. It wasn't quite a horse sound (more like and elephant) but my little Ty-man recognized the animals and I could not pass up the opportunity to let him see them up close (I mean he went through the trouble to mimic the sound and everything....what is a Mom to do?)

So we pull over and He was so excited to get out and see these big animals that came right up to him and sniffed his face, hands, hair. He was in awe of these creatures.

These are the kinds of reasons I might make an exception to be late.

To watch my son petting these horses and being so excited made me realize that it is ok to stop and take a breath for a while and to enjoy each other, instead of rushing here and there all the time. It certainly wasn't the end of the world if we missed our appointment...but I was certain it would've been the end of the world had I not allowed my son this new experience to pet the horses.

And we still made it to our appointment (fairly) on-time.

Sticking his tongue out!

Kissing!


Up Close and Personal!
