Saying yes

Today was a great day, but I think it was a lot of small choices I made through out the day.  Let me introduce you to L she is my third born and can be quite the stinker.  I am home with her and S half the day till K comes home.  My mornings usually consist of letting her watch t.v. so that I can get things done around the house and before I know it she has watched hours of t.v. and I have spent zero quality time with her.  So today I decided to say yes when she requested my attention.  I quickly found out that she is thrilled to have me engage in her world.  We spent the morning painting, making chalk drawings on the driveway, taking a walk, reading books and watching Dora together while she ate lunch.  Somehow I still had plenty of time to get done the things that needed to be done around the house.  It makes me wonder what was I spending my time doing before.  Thank you Ben for encouraging me to say yes more often to my children.  I truly enjoyed L today and I could see a difference in her!
