I had some blog issues this weekend but we're back up and running YAY! So here's my belated Mother's Day post! I hope all of you Mothers out there had a great day yesterday!
I was TERRIFIED to become a Mother. If someone says to you that you are going to be totally responsible for raising another humane being and much of what you do, how you treat them, yourself and act toward others will greatly influence the person they become, who says, yeah sign me up!?! Well as it turns out, most of us! Including myself. So here I am, celebrating my first Mother's Day as a Mother myself, as well as celebrating the women who had a large part in raising me; my own Mother, my granny, my grandma Martha and my grandma Beam. All amazing (and totally different) women in the own way.
My promise to my little guy, on my first Mothers Day, was not only to try my best to be a good Mother, to learn from my mistakes and do my best to raise a happy and healthy child, which of course, what every Mother wants. But also to be a happy and whole person myself. To teach him to treat all beings with respect including himself. Sutton has truly made me a better person and not in a cheesy "you complete me" sort of way, really and truly! I've become more patient (something my Mother has been trying to teach me for YEARS) and learned to slow down a bit. It's ironic that these first few weeks have changed my life completely and yet he won't even remember them. But I certainly will!
Somehow I've gotten pretty good at taking photos with me in them! ha! So here's a photo I took a few weeks ago with me and my little man!
