Children and remembering

I am so happy to be a mom. I love the energy that I watch in my children and pray that just half of the energy would kind of rub off on me as they are sitting on my lap or giving me a hug. I can watch Jared as he runs around the house at top speed without taking a minute to breathe and Jessica as she prances around like a little ballerina. Krystal, Bethany and Jessica love to put on plays or acts for me. One of them will play the guitar while the rest of them dance and sing. Jessica likes to be the lead singer. She will hold the toy microphone in front of her while she makes up songs. How cute can you get.
I remember doing the same thing with my best childhood friend Dawn. We would come up with plays and sing songs that we learned off of movies. Some of our favorites: The Sound of Music and Greese (okay I have watched this as an adult after my kids had watched it several times O my Gosh!!! It is intirely inappropiate and I had no idea what I was singing when I was little.)
I can get quite nostalgic watching my little ones as they do things that I remember doing.
