{Little Moments} Shoes in the Kitchen

Do you ever have those moments where something little {and sometimes quite unexpected} can make you fall head over heals in love with your kids again?

This morning as I was leaving for work, I came across a pair of Jacob's shoes strewn on the kitchen floor. This is not unusual. His shoes end up everywhere. But for some reason, this morning, they tugged at my heart strings. Looking at those little shoes made me crazy about him all over again. It made me want to abandon all sense of right and burst into his room where he was sleeping, scoop him up out of bed, and snuggle with him in the rocking chair. It made me want to breathe all of him in and savor it. It made me want to call into work and spend the day playing Batman and singing silly songs.

I don't know what it was about those shoes this morning. But I am crazy about that kid. And even though they were Jacob's shoes that I found, of course, I am madly in love with both of my little monsters!
