I have found myself lately lapsing in my true parental duty... mainly in the one thing that I knew I was REALLY good at.... cooking my son a home cooked meal every night. Now I know that I am a good mom and am certainly not doubting that, but from the time Trenton was little it was important to me that I cooked for him the majority of the week. Well as life takes its toll, I have found that I will cook when there is 4 of us, and I will even cook when there is 3 of us, but on Tuesday nights when Chris bowls and its just Trenton and I.... I find myself not wanting to cook. Ughhh... it had seemed like more of a chore than the pleasure that it once brought me.
So as I drove home from work today, I decided that I needed to get back to the roots of what I bring to this child's life. There is again no doubt that in the household we show him love and lots of it, we show him the importance of working hard, we show him the importance of sitting down to dinner together as a FAMILY. So now it was up to me to show him that as his mother I take pleasure in the things I do for him.
At this moment after dinner is done and the dishes cleaned up, he is on one end of the couch reading and I am at the other end typing this...with our feet meeting in the middle. As I look over the top of my laptop, I can't help but smile... that handsome boy over there just lights up my world!! I am a lucky mommy ;-)
