Learning From My Littles

I came into motherhood expecting to be a teacher, and expecting to share my knowledge with my kids. What I didn't expect, was how much my kids would teach me.

From their needs and wants, I have come to learn about sacrifice, about love, about beauty, and about appreciation.  I have learned triumph and humility with their accomplishments and with their struggles. I have learned fear and sadness and wonder and amazement as I have re-learned to see the world from a new, smaller point of view.
As they are constantly learning, so am I, and in the past few weeks the lesson plan has focused greatly on one lesson I struggle with most, patience.

What Am I Teaching Them?

My girls were playing Barbies this morning, when I overheard the big one say this....

"This lady cant drive because shes a mommy, and this lady cant drive because shes a mommy too, but this family has two mommies and no daddy so this mommy drives because they have places to go and they don't care about the rules."
