Star Gazing

Last night our friends brought us home from a meeting and I was busy getting all our stuff out of their car. I grabbed Jacob's hand to run across the street when he started crying. I got to the garage and asked him what was wrong. He looked up at me still sniffing and tearful and said "Mama, I wanted to sit in my car seat and look at the sky." It was so sweet! So, I sat his car seat right there in front of the garage and let him sit down - he buckled up (haha) and sat there looking up at the full moon and even found a star. It was a small and sweet moment. It was a good reminder for me to slow down sometimes. I used to love to stare out my window at night and look at the night sky - so it was nice for me too. I am sure we looked a bit silly, which I have never minded. It was a chilly night so we came inside and made steamers - I put green food coloring in Jacob's to be funny, he loved it! He told me "green milk" is his favorite. Good memories....
