My husband and
I have a two year old daughter. Being a Mommy has been a real learning
experience. Here are 10 things I’ve learned since becoming a mother—
All of the
songs in ‘Dora: The Explorer’.
However much
time it took go somewhere or do something without a child, double it.
Four hours of
sleep is more than adequate if I have enough coffee.
How to do
everything one handed.
And how to do
most things with an elbow because my hands are occupied.
How to get in
and out of a grocery store, with enough food for a week, in less than 20 minutes.
If we have to
do an outfit change twice in one day, I call it a good day.
If I put brand
new clothes on her, on way or another, she’ll stain them. Every. Single. Time.
In an average
day, I play the roles of wife, writer, mother, T-Rex, pony, monster, Queen, and
swordfighter.
When I’ve
prayed for patience, God didn’t drop some on me and suddenly make me a better
mom. I’ve asked, and He continues to provide opportunities for me to grow and
learn how to love like He loves us.
