Lessons Learned

Parents are there to teach their babies, but sometimes the best lessons come from the babies themselves. I began to really wonder why Kira hasn't been able to fall asleep unless I lay down with her lately. Since I can't leave her alone on our bed and she wakes up when we try to move her to the crib...I layed down for good and took a nap with her today. I must have been exhausted, because I fell asleep immediately. I slept for 2 hours with her and woke up feeling so much better. The house is a mess and the laundry is not done, but I am rested. Maybe she was trying to tell me something?
"Mama, you are tired, too...I'm not going to sleep until you do!"
Maybe that's not it, but it sure is a good lesson learned! Here are some other things I have learned from Kira:
1. Smile at everyone you see and a good laugh never hurts, either.
2. Classical music is the best!
3. Take time to smell (and touch) the flowers.
4. Inspect everything you eat and take time to enjoy it.
5. Don't eat if you aren't hungry.
6. Be determined in everything you do!
