Sometimes I have to remind myself that I wanted a girl so badly I had convinced myself she would be a boy. She was born and she grew and at this point she is 18 months old. She is SUPER cute. She is SUPER annoying. DEMANDING. often UNFULFILLED. Some days I have put her in her cot and walked away to take many many deep breaths just to cope. I know she will only be this little once. This morning I was reminded by a mum on this page how lucky I am to have her. Healthy. Spirited. Alive. How she was not so lucky. I want to thank that mum because this afternoon when I would normally be overwhelmed by her witching hour mood, I instead took her into the garden, in the twilight and we oohed and aahed at the trees and the bugs and each other. The overwhelm of life sometimes means I get caught up in that cycle of being annoyed by my beautiful crazy baby girl - she is all consuming- a project that is sometimes almost beyond me. THANK YOU to the mum this morning who helped to change this thought cycle for me and for baby Summer. I hope this story helps you too xo Tomorrow, if you feel the same way I did, then take a moment to go and so something completely different from what you normally would- together. #gratefulparenting
