As I watched my two daughters hunt for Easter Eggs, I felt guilty. Like most Mothers, I am constantly running around with my kids or picking up after them. I find myself saying things like, “I can’t wait until they are older and can clean their own rooms, or “Can’t wait until the house is finally quiet”. Wanting them to grow up fast, so I can maybe relax and watch TV.
But on Easter Sunday my thought were the opposite of those ranting moments. I thought , How lucky am I to have two healthy children who were estatic that the Easter Bunny came to their house. I actually started to tear-up watching them.
I have to realize that the magic of childhood- doesen’t last long. I need to savour the moments and think of them when my kids are driving me crazy. My daughter will be ten next year and I wonder how much longer she will believe in the Easter Bunny. If she questions his existance, I will probably lie to keep the magic alive as long as possible!!
