Its true...it IS the small things that count!

Now, I have always been one to love and look forward to ALL big events and exciting happenings! I would get butterflies just waiting for that one big special moment (i.e birthday parties, vacation, and shopping sprees). The only thing is that those BIG events eventually end and they are over. Being a mommy has taught me that it is truly the small things that count. Everyday I look forward to what new "little" thing my son is going to do. Today, Mr. Tanner has taught himself to roll his tongue and make this gurgle like sound. I know to some it may not seem a big deal, but to me it is hilarious!! While he does this he seems to amuse himself, so he cracks himself up! He also cracks mommy and daddy up (and he knows it!) I promise you Randall and I sat there and watched/listened to him for 30 minutes straight as he "gurgled" and talked. It seemed as if the whole world stopped and all that mattered at that moment was watching my baby amuse himself with this new found skill of his. Spending this precious time with him is a memory I will never forget. Just like I will never forget the night that he first giggled and played with his dad! Going shopping and getting an outfit (which is a BIG thing for mommy at this point) may satisfy me for a moment or week; but watching my child teach himself new tricks will amuse me forever. This one small moment of the day means and excites me more than any trip to Florida ever could! So it truly is the small things that count!
