I'm thankful for my three kids... They provide me with a lifetime of experiences that I would have otherwise never known.
I have been beyond blessed to feel life growing within me... three times. I have given birth, three times. I have cuddled three separate babies at different stages in my life... I've enjoyed feet pajamas and late night feedings. I have been given challenges, and heart swelling moments of love.
I've had to learn about sibling rivalry and middle child syndrome. Both are strangers to me as I was raised an only child. I'm constantly battling the task of making sure that my children feel loved, equally... and that no one child has more attention that the other.
I struggle with instilling morals and values into children who are growing up in a society where it seems like everyone else could care less. I'm stuck explaining to my 9 year old why life isn't fair, and why she has to abide by rules and be the example for the other children who clearly aren't.
BUT - I'm thankful for this ride. Parenting opened up a whole new chapter in my life, and I can't imagine my book written any other way. I love you DEARLY Stevie Lynn, Ava Ryan, and Victoria Raye.
