What was your kairos moment today?

Mine was when I took a nap with my six month old. I took off his sleeper because it was soaked in drool, and we lay in bed together and just gazed at each other and I caressed his smooth chubby little body. Bliss.

Now off to deal with some chronos.

I saw that and I like it!!! I like the example of about writing. I find it tough and FABULOUS wrapped up into one I wake up each morning and smile at them smiling at me (like they are thinking, there is my fabulous Mommy)! I also love that they giggle so much together; I think twins have an amazing bond and I am love watching them interact. I love watching them laugh and babble; it is the sweetest sound. I love looking at their eyelashes and chubby bellies. Life is good overall and wouldn't change a thing!

eta: I did a thread kind of similar. I should add to it later since the boys are doing so much.

Thank you for posting this, both of my children are on day three of a particuarly nasty stomach bug and the last few days have definately been far more chronos. We did get an hour huddled together on the sofa watching the little mermaid this afternoon though which I will happily count as kairos.

I also hope I will be one of those old ladies who acknowledges how hard motherhood is, rather than 'forgetting' all the hard bits and lecturing people.

Okay real quick but one of my favorite things is when hubby comes home from work and we feed the babies and hug them and get them ready for bed and then kiss them goodnight. Hubby and I love to talk about how much we love our sons; I just love them so much!!! It is fun to share our happy moments as parents together when they are sound asleep. chronos is the crying. lol I guess they wouldn't be babies if there was no crying. Oh and they don't cry for long stretches, thank goodness; it is short for the most part.
