If you could...
I was doing my reading for my Childcare Lab, , and the first exercise was to "rank" traits you would like your child to have.
So going down the list, I would think that I would want my child to be obedient (when it comes to safety), but an independent thinker (when he knows something is wrong, to not follow). But in just looking at the list, wouldn't it have to be one or the other.!!!
Things are just not black and white.
Then I looked at AJ, and thought to myself, "Are my expectations too high at his age?". "Do I expect too much of my husband?". "Am I really doing what I should as a mother, and a wife?".
I began to really think of my role. I figure I will always question how good of a mother I am, even when my boyz have kids of their own, because they will always be a reflection of me.
But then I really started to think of my role as a wife. You see, Damoomoo and I never had much time as a couple. Not too long after we "officially" started living together, we found AJ was on the way.
And as soon as we said "I do", we pretty much switched into parent mode.
I know we have learned so much about each other so little time, but our adventures just keep changing, and he manages (much better than I do) to adjust.
So to my husband, who probably doesn't even read this...
THANK YOU! I love and appreciate all the big and small things you do for OUR family!
