I saw this quote today and it is an AMAZING reminder of the MOM I want to be, the MOM I hope I am, and the MOM I am still figuring out how to be. (I'm sure Rich feels the same way...but he's working now and I'm blogging)!
Rich and I are often amazed at how happy GRIFFIN is...we will sit and say how lucky we are to have such a happy baby, how blessed we are when we hear his little belly giggles, smile when we come into his nursery in the morning and he is just cooing and laughing, watch him for hours on the baby monitor while he blows raspberries and entertains himself, and just melt a little when we see Chukar and him play (and share) their toys!
When we sit back and question it, we realize he should be happy!
LIFE IS GREAT!!!
He has 2 parents who love him unconditionally and would do anything in the world from him. A brother who, even when annoyed with him, will drop everything and give him loves (and sometimes even his ball). A home that is filled with love. A full belly! An open heart. The freedom to grow and be the little man he is meant to be. Open arms when he is upset.
Plus, our voices in his head telling him "you can do it", "try it", "we love you", and more.
I'm sure there will be days where he faces challenges, but our only hope (speaking for Rich too) is that he will hear his papa and mama shouting from the rooftops as his biggest fans!
GO GRIFFIN!
We support you!
We want that inner voice to challenge him, yet provide supportive wisdom that guides him to be the BEST him! Little man, we are so proud of the person you are! You take life as it comes at you, rolling with the punches and are continually trying new things. You know no fear! You remind us daily of the things that truly matter and are so blessed that you share that wisdom with us!
YOU ARE AMAZING!
