The day I was a "normal" mom for 10 minutes!

Last week Frankie got her cast off. To celebrate we went to the Polar Bear for ice cream. We sat at a picnic table next to the road to enjoy the beautiful summer day. And then, I experienced being a "normal" mom for 10 minutes! What is a "normal" mom experience? I was able to sit and enjoy sitting and eating ice cream with both of my children. That is it. Just being able to sit and enjoy for 10 whole minutes was an experience worth writing about!

Normally, Connor would be dashing to the street or around the parking lot to look at cars. He would not wait while Frankie finished. I would have my hand tightly around his forearm and holding him onto the bench. But none of that happened! He happily ate his ice cream and waited while Frankie finished hers. Wonder of all wonders.

Whoever said happiness is in the small things was right!
