Last night we had a similar meal to the one pictured above. Tofu and veggie stir fry, we all loved it, even our 5 year old. The best part is he wanted to help make dinner so while I chopped up the broccoli, him and his daddy cut the tofu together. It was so sweet watching them work together as a team. I love these moments, especially when I think about when my son is older and he remembers how his daddy taught him how to cook.
We never turned on the TV, we just enjoyed each other's company. Music was playing in the background, I prefer music over the TV. I wish I could just bottle up these family moments, I try to appreciate them and not take them for granted. After our meal, D-boy picked up all of our dishes and took them to the sink. Now he is learning how to load them in the dishwasher. I love that he wants to help. I want him to be self-sufficient when he is older. Its amazing as parents the affect we have on our little one's lives, how we are shaping them. My goal is for him to be happy and to always know how much his parents love him. Its great when I hear other parents tell me how sweet and kind he is to others. Hopefully these are traits we can continue to nurture in him.
Happy quote for today:
We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. ~Frederick Keonig
