Motherhood

Motherhood is being grateful for the little things.

When you are in line at the grocery store and the person in front of you allows you to go first because your toddler is DONE, you cannot say "thank you" enough.

Motherhood is thinking of others besides yourself.

When someone asks "How are you?" you almost always answer, "WE're doing great."

Motherhood is finding courage.

When your child faces vaccinations and bullies, you need to be brave, so that your child can be brave.

Motherhood is gaining a new perspective.

When your baby has a regular poopy diaper after several days of diarrhea, you feel relief beyond compare. (and you don't mind changing that diaper so much)

Motherhood is learning to fall and pick yourself up again.

Just like your baby, you first must first learn to flip over, then crawl, then stand, then walk. And you can't give up.

Motherhood is experiencing grace in a whole new way.

After a day of battling wills, you still want nothing more than to hug and kiss your child.
