Current Exercise and Weight Loss Goals

a mommy moment

I've noticed that I'm not writing much in my blog besides my exercise goals, but I guess a blog is supposed to be personal and can be about whatever you want. I'm very focused on my fitness goals, so that's what I write.

But, last week I had a sweet moment with Jared I wanted to share. He and I were on my bed, snuggled up while he was having a morning bottle of milk. We were watching tv when he leaned back his head to look at me and get a kiss and he said "mama" for the first time. Oh, it just melted my heart! He has been saying "MAAAA" (like a very load bleating lamb) for several weeks, but his was so tender and sweet. I said "Jared" back to him and he repeated the process several times; looking back, getting a kiss and saying "mama".

The funny thing is, he hasn't said "mama" since. But, I don't mind. I had that moment and it was great!

Ok, now close your eyes and burn that memory into your brain so that you can access that file really easily on Sunday during Sacrament Meeting! Thanks for sharing. Jared really is a sweetheart.

Although Im not a father, and more than likely will never be a mother either, I really felt your joy in this posting. Thank you for sharing it.
Watching Jared's exploits from the clerks desk has been a very enjoyable pastime for me.

See, knocking Jared down a few times and stepping on his hand has really helped you two get closer together. Is this what they mean by spare the rod and spoil the child?
