I think what you said about putting too much pressure on ourselves is so true. Just like the sweet mommy said in the first comment, we need to extend ourselves more grace. I certainly have days where I feel like I'm not doing a good enough job. My own mother is usually the one who gives me a little pep talk. I pray that God will equip me with what I need to be the best mommy that I can be to my children. That's usually the time when I realize that he already has. He chose me to raise these sweet babies knowing that with his help and guidance, I could give them just what they need. It is no accident that I'm their mommy. It's no accident that you are Florence's mommy. Such a sweet name for a little girl!<br /><br />P.S. My daughter didn't walk until she was 18 months old. My little Eli was that old or older before he finally talked. :)Jennifer Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262940124668696483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421004226123830512.post-86771142678324243092014-06-26T07:53:19.352-04:002014-06-26T07:53:19.352-04:00I think those are struggles every mommy has.

But I'm trying really hard to reflect on WHY days have ended so chaotically - maybe because I've put too much pressure on myself. The floor doesn't have to be so clean we can lick it. Florence doesn't have to wear white to the park like EVERY other child there (don't get me started), she will learn to walk and talk and it's not my fault that she hasn't. I suppose those rough moments, however, make those extra little kisses and laughs and fun times that much better!
