Perhaps one of my favorite parts of being a mom has been watching the world through my children’s eyes.   Seeing the excitement on their faces about something that is seemingly routine to me makes me pause and enjoy life in that moment.  

We spent an action packed family day at the zoo yesterday and although we had taken my son there countless times before in previous years, watching him bounce up and down saying “let’s see more big animals!” while my newly walking daughter toddled her way down the path from exhibit to exhibit is something I will never forget!

These are the days that make all the whining, crying and days you countdown the time until bedtime worth it!
