Happy Mother's Day!
I have been thinking about some of the unique and special moments that come to a mom. There is nothing like watching your children learn. It is such a special and divine moment when you see them piece something together or learn how to do something new.
A mom gets used to talking to a baby without response and does this for typically more than a year. My youngest has been vocally responding for a couple months now, and it still surprises me almost each time. She can talk to me. How cool is that. When I ask questions to try to help her understand how she is feeling or define her world, she can tell me if I'm right or not. This is one of my favorite transitions. After feeling like I'm talking to myself for so long and wondering if it makes a difference, all of a sudden she is answering me and surprising me by how smart and how much of an individual she is.
Being a mom is SO much harder than I ever thought it would be for me, but there are so many moments that make it worth it and make it enjoyable! I am so grateful to be a mom and am quite in awe of mothers the world over.
I have one of the most dedicated mothers and she has always been that way. I am grateful for her and wish I could have known what her world was like while I was influencing it daily through my every action. How I would have tried to be more kind and gentle.
