Being mommy means showing up everyday with a full heart, ready to give your best, even when you think you have no energy for it. Sometimes I gather strength from other blogs and quotes or friends who seem to be balancing this "mom" thing better than me. Sometimes I just smile and laugh even though I feel like I need to cry, but as many of my fellow friend/mommies have told me, it does get easier, and they do learn not to throw their food anymore. I do want my little guy to know that I will be there for him everyday and for every event and for all of the good and bad things that life will throw at him. When I see this smile, it makes it all worth it. This was a big day for the little guy because he learned to go "down" the stairs, although the last step ended with a fall. I was there to let him know that it will be ok and life does move on.
