Max time

My little boy is needy. I am not sure if this is his nature, a result of my lack of time, the age or a combination of things. I should add that I LOVE that he wants me and my time. Nothin pleases me more then when he approaches me, looks up and says, "I want a snuggle mamma." Or "read me a story mamma" or "play with me mamma."

I often feel I can not respond by providing all the time and attention he desires and deserves. As a full time working mom, there is not enough time in the day. This is my sad reality. I wish I could change it but I can not figure out how. So I try my best. 

Yesterday was a great day. It started with Max waking up snuggling us as he slept in our bed as a special treat. When I looked for volunteers to go with me to church, Max gladly volunteered! We enjoyed church together and he is such great company- especially one on one. After lunch we went swimming and enjoyed some time to play there too. The evening was spent around the house doing the normal evening activities. I got to read stories. I got to tuck him in. 

I hope these good days are the ones he will remember when he is grown up, instead of the busy ones where I feel like such a failure. 

I will always try my boy.
