Don’t be intimidated by those with a higher stature.
If you don’t love the book, don’t feel obligated to finish it.
Don’t take things out on your husband when you’ve had a bad day.
If you say you’re going to do something, find a way to do it.
Just be you. And never look back.
I wondered what it was that you saw in me tonight.
Was it the playfulness in my voice as I washed between your toes?
Or the way I leaned over the side of the tub as we sang our favorite song together? (Three times because I can’t say no to your chants of “Again! Again!”)
Maybe it was the way I listened intently to the story of your day.
Or maybe you sensed my very best quality…my love of being your mommy.
And if that’s the case, I can live with you being a little bit like me.
