Closing in on thirty, I have spent a lot of time thinking about "who I am" and learning about that. As a momma, I have found a new level of confidence and self awareness.
I am Cole's mom.
I am Derek's wife.
I am a friend who wishes she had more time to give to gal-pals. I have found my friendship groove for now though. AND, I am eternally grateful for times that I get to unwind, debrief, and commune with girlfriends.
I am a daughter and sister and I wish my family was closer in distance. I am brought to tears with my gratitude for this family. There are no words...
I am a hard worker and I have a job that fills me up - - and wears me down many days.
I am a home-body. I love to be home and nesting, relaxing, spending quality time with my boys.
I get too anxious about stuff. I need to unwind, be mindful, live in the present, etc. I am a work in progress.
I know that 'who I am' can change.
Cole is becoming aware of himself too.
He can make silly faces.
He can argue and assert his wants and needs.
like requesting PBJ for every meal. doesn't always work out - but he's learning to ask for what he wants.
He is learning how to potty.
He is learning how to use manners to get things he wants
PBJ is more likely when request is "May I have a PBJ please, Mommy?"
He is learning to be flexible.
and try new things for dinner - - with lots of encouragment from Mommy & Daddy
He is learning about his family.
talking about his grandparents when they are not around.
He is learning that his family loves him like CrAzY
and he is learning to show his love through hugs, kisses, strokes, and words of love and comfort
if Mommy is showing signs of stress, he rubs my back and tells me "it be okay"
He's also learning things about himself like....
spitting is funny,
silly faces make people laugh,
being silly is fun.
I've got his back.
I am his mom.
I love him.
