If you're a parent, then you know how much joy children bring to our lives. From the moment they are born, to the day they take their first step, to the time when you realize that they know their ABCs, the Moments of Joy are abundant!
It's not just the big moments that bring us joy, though. There are the little moments too - a messy meal, a child using their imagination and using a box as a toy, or your kids just looking cute. Those are the moments that you have to run and get your camera to capture, because you never want to forget them.
Fisher-Price wants you to share those moments on their new Moments of Joy site! This fun website is a place for parents to share the candid and real moments of childhood. We are all proud of our kids and love to brag about them, right? Well, this is the place to do it!
I recently uploaded some of my favorite moments of joy with my kids to the the site. With the several hundred photos I have of my sweet babies, it was hard for me to pick just a few. I eventually narrowed it down and stopped at 12 photos...for now.
Not only can you upload photos, but you can upload videos too! I decided to upload my favorite video of Rylie. She was just over 2 years old when I learned that she could sing the ABC song all the way through. That was definitely a moment of joy!
Now it's your turn! Find those fun pictures of the moments of joy you have experienced with your little ones and share them on the Moments of Joy site or on the Fisher-Price Facebook page. When you upload your moment(s) between now and 12/20 you will be automatically entered into the Moments of Joy Sweepstakes!
Simply upload your moment and you will be entered to win $1,000 in Fisher-Price toys! Plus, there will be five winners of $100 gift cards every week!
Once you upload your moments, make sure you browse around at all of the moments of joy that have been uploaded. There are some seriously cute pictures already on the site, and, well, you can see Rylie and Bryce too!
I would love to hear about the moments of joy you have experienced with your children!

My daughter just turned 3 and she's getting really excited about Christmas for the first time. It was a joyful moment when she helped decorate the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.

My son is now an adult. The day he married his wife was so beautiful to me. They just celebrated their 4th anniversary last week.

no kids yet! still waiting
My favorite moment is when bringing our second son home from the hospital, his "older" 2 year old brother didn't want anyone to hold him, only him. If someone wanted to hold him, they had to sit down first and my 2 year old would lecture them on how to hold his brother right.
Thanks so much.

wow so many great moments with my kids. I would say for my oldest recently is going on the potty and how proud he was to do it all by himself. For my youngest would be when he laughed for the first time out loud.

One of my favorite moments with my son was right after I bought him his first umbrella. He was about four or five and there was a huge rainstorm! He was dancing in the rain with his umbrella. Now that he is a teenager, those moments have slipped away.
Watching the kids open their stockings on Christmas morning is always a moment of joy!

first steps!
A recent moment of joy was watching my grandson try to learn to walk.
my little boy's first day of kindergarten
Our recent moment of joy was at my Grandsons Book Parade at school and he was dressed as Tin Man. It was adorable and he was so proud. He believed all the people there were his "Fans" so he was waving like crazy at everyone.
My kids are teens and 20 at home right now, and believe me, even at this age of testiness there is great joy. But we do have a 1 year old Grand daughter living here too with mommy, and we also get to see our little grandson almost every day here for day care. So the recent joys have been watching these two cousins play. My grandson was born a micropreemie late last year. It is funny to see our grand daughter, only two weeks older be protective and she puts her hand on him like she's protecting him still, even though after going from under 2 to almost 20 lbs now. It's just fun and joyful to watch them play and hug. Well, and fight like brother and sister too. Even that is fun and joyful after knowing how close we came to losing that little guy, every day is a miracle here!
thanks so much!

I love seeing my daughter's face as she's mastered something she's been trying to do.
The day my son graduated from Basic Training. We traveled a long way to Fort Knox and the joy he had because nearly his entire family came all that way to celebrate a very important day made me so very, very happy. I love to make people's days.
I have had 2 great moments of joy...When each of my 2 kids were placed on my chest after their births. =)

Cuddling with my daughter and reading a book!
My four moments was meeting each of my four boys each for the first time.
When my daughter was younger, I walked past her room and overheard her calling/talking to a girl that had apparently been picked on earlier that day in school. She had heard about it, found the girls number, and decided she would call her and ask her if she was okay. I was really proud of her and how she was so caring and compassionate to someone she really didn't know, but knew probably needed a friend.

My moment of joy is holding my first grandson for the first time, and being around to see that day. He is a wonder to my life and has helped me in so many ways, getting through my chemo and radiation he helped me not lose it mentally. My other three grandchildren that followed were purely bonus for me :)

I do not have any children as of yet but I think about all the joyest occasions we will share together.
Big baby smiles.
When they smile at you.
I don't have any children of my own but what really made me feel good was when my fiance's ex called right after we got engaged. He hadn't told her - but he had just called their daughter who is 10(who has her one phone). The mom was calling to let us know that their daughter together was running around the house all excited and started calling all her friends to tell them the good news. We had been together 8 years, so I had been around since his daughter was 2 but I wasn't sure how she Really felt. She was nice to me, but I work weekends so im not home as much with her as I would like to be so I didn't know if she secretly hated me or something. Now we watch say yes to the dress together :)
