Things that make you (Moms) go hmmmm….

Quiet children
Don’t worry Mom…
- I will be careful or
- I won’t get hurt or
- I will clean up when I am done
Mom can I have flour? It’s for a game.
Where do we keep the hammer? Or
I need crazy glue Or
Can I cut my own hair?
Mom, don’t get mad but…
Any sentence that starts with “accidentally”…
Any question when asked when the response is, Oh yeah… I forgot to tell you…

And the great lessons is this – that we are learning along side our children. There is no manual, no how to guide, no ‘5 things you never should do as a mother’ – well none that will truly see you through it all. So let love be your guide, and adjust your sails to where she takes you.

We are growing too, along side our children.
