Who's Blessing Who Here.

So...
I would just like to say I am impressed, just so impressed with the sweet smarts my daughter Paige presents to us daily. In her first year of life she can show me her nose, eyes, teeth, ears, hair. She knows what it means to brush her teeth and hair. She tries to put on her socks and shoes. She barks and pants at the sight of a dog. If shes about to throw something on the floor from her highchair, I can say "no, we eat it" and she will! She fake laughs. If I tell her "no, not for babies" she will usually back off of something she knows not to touch. She blows kisses to everyone and claps for you if you do something she deems silly enough. She has been dancing since she could sit up and sings to herself dancing her stuffed animals around at nap time. If you tell her "nice baby" she will hug kiss and rock her dolls. She is super gentle with Lena and is always trying to kiss her.

You see, I am leaving out the occasional fits and sleepless nights, times when she has figured out how that latch on her diaper releases her from bondage, and when she decides she'd rather spit her food out. Among many other things we either have to leave the room and count to ten before we react or... the turn your head technique... so she doesn't see you laughing, and when you have it under control, then you say no.

Back to the sweet things; the skills my 13 month old daughter has harbored for her own has just amazed me. Though those might be "big duh" things to some of you, I could even go as far as admiring my childs curiosity to attain the baby knowledge in her baby head. She is smart, sensitive and quite the dancer.

My husband and I live to do whatever the Lord will have us do- We were made parents and as such we are to take care of our children to the best of our abilities and we sacrifice a big chunk our income to make sure our children have 100% of what we believe they need. That is a God loving mother showing them the way 24/7.  So we know we are blessing our children with this upbringing.  
But with all that listed above... my children are blessing me more than I can comprehend. 


Lena started smiling and cooing at us last week. My goodness, my heart, even through extreme exhaustion, experiences the purest of Joy through my adventures in motherhood.

May God Bless & Keep, us 24/7ers.
