I used to be a perfect mother.
~
Fourteen years ago that changed. It changed because I had my first child.
~
Since then I have been reminded daily that I'm NOT a perfect mother and my children aren't perfect either. And you know what? I am SO okay with that.
~
I'm okay with dirty hands and feet. Messy faces. Shoes that are on the wrong feet and mismatched clothing. I'm okay with children who don't learn everything early and sometimes take a little longer.
~
I'm okay with my imperfect children. More than okay. I like their imperfections. Its what makes each of them so unique and special. Its what makes them them.
