She is amazing and perfect. So are you, you know. I've often thought about this perfection thing....I look at my kids and know they were born and remain perfect. Yeah, they get angry. Yeah, they make mistakes sometimes. They're still perfect. It's all part of being human. So why don't we consider ourselves as adults to be perfect? We are! Woo Hoo!
I LOVE looking at my kids when they're sleeping! I can look at them and marvel without them saying "Mo-om. Stop looking at me!"
Those are really beautiful thoughts. Thank you, Pam. I guess more people judge us as adults and somewhere along the line we fell in with that mentality. Hopefully being freethinking philomaths will help our children to resist this when they age. I know Margaux thinks I'm perfect and it just amazes me. She's always singing me love songs, telling me how beautiful I am, how lucky she is. And in judging myself, I think it's sad that she thinks I'm such a great mom... why? Because I'm comparing myself to moms I think *are* great, but at the same time still feeling overwhelmingly loved and grateful.
