Slow Down Mummy.

Slow down mummy, there is no need to rush,
Slow down mummy, what is all the fuss?
Slow down mummy, make yourself a cup of tea.
Slow down mummy, come and spend some time with me.
Slow down mummy, let's put our boots on and go out for a walk, let's kick at piles of leaves, and smile and laugh and talk.
Slow down mummy, you look ever so tired, come sit and snuggle under the duvet and rest with me a while.
Slow down mummy, those dirty dishes can wait,
Slow down mummy, lets have some fun, lets bake a cake!
Slow down mummy I know you work a lot, but sometimes mummy, its nice when you just stop.
Sit with us a minute, & listen to our day,
spend a cherished moment, because our childhood is not here to stay!

My friend Naomi shared a link to this 'poem' on Facebook during the week, and I loved it.
Although, I strive to be present and always available to my family, I also get caught up in routine, chores, huge to-do lists and keeping the house perfect and in order. This poem reminded me to pause and savour the very short time that our children are so small. The days are flying by and I want to cherish every little part of them!!! I need to slow down!
Beautiful poem isn't it?
P.S. I was over at We Heart Life recently, with an article about PLAY being a universal language, and how our lack of speaking the Japanese-language caused no barrier for Ella and Ryder. They taught me a lot during our trip. You can read the article here!
