It's all an adjustment. I haven't done it perfect. I haven't enjoyed a lot of the moments. I missed tons of moments. I have regretted days once I laid my head on my pillow. But this week a new level of adjustment happened. Not sure how. Not sure why. God's grace on my family maybe.
I have a friend that blogs and I LOVE reading her blog every week. I read this line tonight: "Playing with my kids is and always should be the most important item on my daily to-do list."
I love it!
I only have one and I am still trying to figure out who the heck I am these days, but this just seemed to resonate with me and the questions I am asking myself.
Tomorrow's to do list is filling up fast, yet tonight I know what the most important to do on it will be.
That's my boy...blurry once again because he is ALWAYS moving...notice he thinks he can stand. Yep that's Maxers!
dana, you're so sweet. i've loved seeing your little boy grow and hearing your thoughts along this journey. can't believe max is already 7 mo! he is absolutely beautiful :) love reading your blog, so many of your struggles are my struggles as well and it's so nice knowing i'm not alone. 1 kid or 3, doesn't matter, it's a continual battle of self-focus or others-focused :) love you friend.
ReplyDeleteHi friend! Just catching up on your blog and identifying with the "transition" of motherhood. I, too, am learning how to focus on the positive rather than the negative (especially in myself) and struggle. I keep waiting for the feeling of transition to subside. I'll keep you posted on that. :) I'm still sad we didn't get to connect during your visit but am hopeful that it will happen. Max is way too cute. Those smiles sure are huge. Love to you.
