I just want to say I’m sorry.⁣ ⁣ I saw you b

I just want to say I’m sorry.⁣
⁣
I saw you before I had kids of my own. And I judged you. I swore I would never be you. Now that I am a mother myself, I AM you. And I finally get it. Oh, how I wish I had shown you grace.⁣

This is my husband, Kyle. He’s cute. And somehow

This is my husband, Kyle. He’s cute. And somehow as he grows older, he keeps getting cuter. Meanwhile, I plucked my chin AND nose hairs in the school pick-up line yesterday.⁣
⁣
Age looks good on him.⁣
⁣
Anyway—he’s cute, yes. But he’s also just good. Like, really good. He was the kid in college who always dressed the part and showed up first to work and respected his employers and went above and beyond.⁣
⁣
Still does.⁣
⁣
He volunteers for a lot—because everyone asks him for help.⁣
⁣
He’s respected at work because he works hard.⁣
⁣
His kids adore him.⁣
⁣
I do too.⁣
⁣
I know I’m a lucky girl but I’m also not so bad myself. Our marriage works because we’re good together.⁣
⁣
I think we learned early on—back in 2004 before Facebook and smart phones—that the small, normal moments matter most.⁣
⁣
We didn’t have money during those early years. I mean, no money. And so, extravagant date nights never happened. Travel didn’t happen. We made payments on a car that died in 8-lane traffic and we paid the bare minimum on student loans.⁣
⁣
That was life for a long time. Only now, 17 years later, are we able to take vacations every once in a while. But it didn’t matter then and it doesn’t matter now. Our love isn’t fancy. And even if we do someday strike it rich, it won’t make our bond stronger.⁣
⁣
Because we figured it out. At least, I think we did—that love isn’t something you find on the big screen or in a Christmas Hallmark movie (although I am a sucker for those films). Nope. Love is found in a bowl of leftover potatoes and meatloaf.⁣
⁣
Let’s back up.⁣
⁣
We have a first come first serve basis for lunch in our house which means whoever gets home first gets to eat the leftovers.⁣
⁣
I usually eat an inappropriate amount of cheese for lunch. It’s just my thing. But when we have meatloaf leftovers—BACK AWAY. Kyle also likes meatloaf leftovers. You see where this becomes a problem.⁣
⁣
There’s never enough for both of us.⁣

If you’d seen my three-year-old strolling about

If you’d seen my three-year-old strolling about Target this evening, you probably would’ve assumed I’d lost a battle.⁣
⁣
You know, the battle to get a toddler to wear actual clothes in public places.⁣
⁣
Rather than Christmas jammies that are definitely at least one size too small paired daringly with bright yellow rain boots.⁣
⁣
But there was no battle. No fuss. No frustration. No giving into tears or an epic tantrum.⁣
⁣
Because I didn’t even start the battle. Didn’t fight it one bit. And not because I’m tired (though I am). And not because I don’t care what other people think (I do, and I’m working on it).⁣
⁣
I simply looked at my sweet boy standing there exclaiming he was ready to go in that exhilarating ensemble and thought, gosh, what a joy it is to see him so happy. And what a joy it must be to be three. To strut confidently down the aisles in this getup. To not feel at all hindered or constrained by expectations and norms.⁣
⁣
So no, I didn’t lose a battle today, though I’m sure it looked like it. And no, he won’t be wearing jammies out and about in most places or situations. I simply recognized the joy of my sweet, innocent, goofy child, and I met him there. Something I want to do more of in a world where kids have so little space and time to be kids. And let me tell ya—watching him race about in that outfit absolutely made my day, too.⁣
