Let Them Be Little

I love the song "Let Them Be Little" by Billy Dean  and I have been trying harder lately to let my kids "be little". I think too often I try to make them act older then they really are and I get frustrated when they are acting their age. This morning I took an effort to make them feel special. They got to wear mommy's jewelry to church. As you can see in the picture, Macy absolutely loved it. I hope I take can keep remembering to take advantage of how easy it is to just let her wear my necklace or to let London eat breakfast off of a huge snowman platter that was given to us with treats on it. I'm a little uptight about how things are "supposed" to be, I can feel myself lightening up a little and hope I can keep doing so.

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute
How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink
Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon

So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little.

I've never felt so much in one little tender touch
I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes
Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see
And Tonight while we're on our knees all I ask is please

Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

So innocent, precious soul, you turn around and It's time to let them go.

So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love everyday
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

Let them be little
