my MOM moment today was very small as it was a very busy day. but today i taught my kids the art of eating mindfully. usually when my kids eat ANY type of treat they get so excited that their hands shake and they stuff ALL of it in their mouths at once; to the point that with every chew a tiny piece momentarily escapes their little lips. we don't eat a lot of treats around here... obviously. so today i gave all of us 5 gummi bears each and taught them to eat them one at a time with their little eyes pinched shut. as i hid (i needed a moment right then) in order to do the same i savored the moment, feeling the flavors explode in my mouth. the cutest was F, who pretends to shut his eyes, but really he's just squinting so as to not miss out on anything. silly boy.
