I like what I see . . .

I do.  I like what I see; I just hope I do tomorrow.  Tonight, I read Lucy several stories.  I tucked Natalie in for the third time.  I have given her everything she could possibly need to sleep tonight.  I prayed with the girls and then went to pray with the boys.  After our prayer, Noah shared the synopsis of a book he is reading.  And my heart is happy.  He continues telling me the play by plays.  He shares his like for these books.  I smile and share a final, "Good night!"  And he follows me out into the hall, where I stop and turn to listen to him talk about another book by the same author.  I glance into the hallway mirror still smiling about the info he is sharing and again, my heart is happy.  I like who I am.  I LOVE these children.  They can be challenging, but I LOVE them.  I can do this!  I am doing it, and I think I'm going to be alright!  :)
I think I am getting through to them about life, learning, and how to love.  
These moments are so precious.  I hope we're still talking about books and things we've been reading when I'm an old lady!
