It looks like something you find outside. No biggie. Right. But this little thing brought a smile to my face today when I found it in my living room. Something so simple. So easy.
Let me explain...
When you’re a single parent you become really guarded. You step up and think you don’t want to allow anyone in unless you’re really sure. You don’t want your kids meeting people you date unless you’re really sure.
So for years my kids never met anyone I dated. Then I met my boyfriend. It started casual. Easy. And then it blossomed. Fast. Fun. We just flowed with it. We then took it up to another level.
I met his daughter. He met my kids. We then had them meet. Before you know it we are a little family. Kids play. We hang out together. We love eachother. It’s natural. No pressure. Just fun.
So last night at my oldest baseball game my boyfriend was teaching my kids tricks with this little leaf. Not even sure what it is. He showed them how to make music with it and he stuck it on his nose and theirs. They laughed a lot and it’s so simple and easy. But they are so comfortable with him and I just watched and loved him even more because of it.
When my girls play with him or lay next to him and they are comfortable it makes my heart grow knowing after waiting all this time I chose the right one in.
When I am with his daughter I treat her like she’s mine because it’s a natural instinct to just be good to kids. Yours or not they are influenced by you. They look up to you. They admire you and you have to be good to them. My philosophy has always be the more the merrier what’s one more kid. I love them together I love us together. Being all together always makes me happy. Knowing they are happy all together makes me happy too.
