And it's not my favorite gift
because our kiddos were thoughtful or creative or early risers. It's not even
because I was able to sleep a little longer and not take breakfast orders,
clean the dishes, and help all of the above get ready for church.
For me, the over-sugared oatmeal
and diluted coffee is oh-so-sweet and wonderful because it shows the early
signs of self-reliance in our children.
When they first tie their shoelaces
without our help, I see signs of independence.
And we do a little dance.
When they wake up, make their beds,
get dressed, and begin school on their own, I see signs of self-sufficiency.
And we do a little dance.
When they make me a Mother’s Day
breakfast that is vegan and gluten-free and then sing me a self-created
Mother’s Day song, I know our kiddos are well on their way to being
self-possessed, confident, and creative individuals.
And we all do a little dance
together.
"To
find yourself, think for yourself." Socrates
