As this blog is named "Lauren's Life Lessons," I thought it was time for me to share some life lessons that I have learned, discovered, facilitated, and given recently.
1) Don't jump to conclusions and assume the worst. I always am one to play the "devil's advocate," so to speak, and always look for the worst outcome in a situation and think that's what's going to actually happen. I need to remember to trust in GOD and know that everything happens for a reason and it will all work out the way HE planned it to.
2) I never had a sister, only a brother, and as special as he is, I really wish I had been able to have a sister to share secrets with, do girly activities, go through pregnancies together, and I could go on. So, now that I have TWO daughters, I want to help them form a loving relationship and bond that I never got to experience. Even now, with Reagan at only 18 months and Brooklyn at only 4 months, I encourage them to play together and love on each other (Reagan LOVES to hold her little sister), and they will soon share a room together. I hope they grow up cherishing each other and have a great friendship throughout their lives.
3) Easton is an amazingly little boy! Although not up to average standards in his language development, he is the smartest little four-year-old I know! He teaches us so much every day about him and what he can do, and he teaches us about ourselves and how we should be patient and understanding of all kinds of people in all walks of life. He is truly one special little guy!
4) I have discovered recently that fudge creme oreos are absolutely the greatest cookie on Earth...but if I'm gonna lose the rest of this baby weight, then I need to stop eating them every night...I do limit myself to one...okay two...a day!
5) As many times that I don't get sleep at night because our babies are up sick, or I am so tired from a long day at work and it seems like the kids are there just to drive me insane, or Johnathan and I are fighting about something really stupid and petty, I wouldn't change one single thing about my life at all. I love my kids so much; my husband is my best friend and soul mate; and GOD is a forever in our lives.
That's all my life lessons for now. On to something else for today!
