It's been a busy week for the girls, and it's showing. Joy School, a trip to (Great) Grandpa's, their weekly play time with Grandma and Grandpa (my parents), performing the nativity at a nursing home, performing the nativity at a school party here at the house, a ward party or two...let's just say it's good that we'll have a few days of normal early in this coming week. They are such amazing and wonderful girls, and this momma is praying hard every day for peace in our home.
Parenting is such an amazing journey, looking at these two wonderful little souls every day and trying to learn "how am I going to help you learn and grow today?" Sometimes it's stepping back to see what they'll do, sometimes it's putting them in a situation where I KNOW they can succeed, and watching them (and me) learn from that. Sometimes it's pushing back a little and saying "You can do this. I know you can do this, and we're not going to accept anything less than what we both know you can do." And sometimes it's just saying yes.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a mom.
Profound, mama. Most days it's just "how can we get to the end of the day with the least amount of crying today?" and planning to prevent.
