Kairos Moments

Today has been a really good day.  You are napping now and you've been in a really good mood all day.  This morning we went to Crown Center and Union Station with Ms. Stephanie and Caleb.  We saw the trains at the Railroad Exhibit and walked through the walkways between Crown Center and Union Station.  You loved watching the trains and followed them with your eyes and head as they went by.  Then Ms. Stephanie and I got coffee, well I got a chi latte which was delicious.  You took a little nap in the stroller while we drank our coffee which was wonderful because then Ms. Stephanie and I got to talk.  When we got home you ate and then you pooped all over the place so you got a bath.  :)  You LOVED your bath today and sat up in the tub and splashed in the water.  Then I lotioned you up and you played with some fun stacking stars that Aunt Chrissy got you.  Now you are napping like a sweet angel.

It's been a rough week because you have not been sleeping very well at night, but I thank God for you every day and want to remember the wonderful moments and days like today, even when I am so so tired.  This is my Kairos.

I read this wonderful blog post about Kairos earlier this week:

Here is a quote from it:

"There are two different types of time. Chronos time is what we live in. It’s regular time, it’s one minute at a time, it’s staring down the clock till bedtime time, it’s ten excruciating minutes in the Target line time, it’s four screaming minutes in time out time, it’s two hours till daddy gets home time. Chronos is the hard, slow passing time we parents often live in.

Then there’s Kairos time. Kairos is God’s time. It’s time outside of time. It’s metaphysical time. It’s those magical moments in which time stands still. I have a few of those moments each day. And I cherish them."

You loved the trains!
