A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

on
As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow. (As an Amazon associate, I am compensated for qualifying purchases.)

Emergency Room Trip With Baby

on


I had to add a few words.  Anybody who knows me knows that I've never been without words in my life.  Despite my intelligence, some have questioned whether I even understand the concept of silence.  Trust me, I get the concept, I just don't like it very much!



Seriously, I know that I am totally biased, but I think that my baby is pretty darn cute. Besides that, she's funny, strong, and pretty resilient, especially given an injury she endured on Sunday.  Let's just say that she had an unfortunate incident with another child's teeth, resulting in a terrified mother and a trip to the Emergency Department. YIKES!!!

Theses photos are of happier, less stressful times when she was a happy unscarred little girl.  Trust me, she's healing nicely and will be no worse for the wear.  I am different though.
 

Motherhood is Humbling


I was humbled and enlightened by the experience.  I was humbled because I finally appreciated that despite my best intentions, I may not be able to protect her from everything.  I was enlightened because I have decided, despite my new found humility, I will be ever vigilant about protecting her and ignore those who say that I am overprotective.  When I was overprotective she wasn't bleeding profusely. #IJS. 

That being said, I was reminded that even though I am blinded by her cuteness. That doesn't matter much.  I am just honored to love her every day.  And even though I didn't think that I could love her more, I actually think that I do.
