It's the little things

It's the little things that make my mama heart so happy and full.
 
Like Tucker teaching his baby sister the joys of belly flying on the swingset.
Enjoying puzzles before and after storytime at the local library
The way Rylie giggles with her whole body when you nuzzle her and kiss her neck.
The way RyBug gets super attached to a balloon.
The way Tucker sees a puzzle another child left half finished and he HAS to complete it before we can leave.
The way Tucker cuddles up when he starts getting sleepy..and smiles with his entire face!
Like the way Tucker gets super excited to write and learn.
A close friend gave Rylie some nail polish for Christmas. She delighted in painting her Papa's fingernails. (And I think he secretly like it too.)
A boy's best friend..needs a bath too ;)
Rylie has been so sick on and off the last 3 months..but her snuggles have made the long days and nights wonderful.
The way she sleeps with wild abandon.
One of my closest friends and her family came to stay with us for a few days after Christmas. Her son is absolutely adorable and Rylie was beyond thrilled to give him lots of loving. She didn't care that he was nearly her size, she loved snuggling him.
Our neighbors made an awesome ice cave adventure for the kids and their adorable little girl.
The way Tucker loves to play outside. He can play for hours with just a tiny digger and a dump truck.
Like his utter delight in the neighbors effort with the ice.

Being a mama isn't easy..but it is so so worth it. The little things may not seem like a big deal, but sometimes, they're the ones that mean the most. My mama heart is happy and full.
