In lew of father's day I pose this question: "How has being a mother or father shaped you as an individual?" How has it shaped your life? And for those who are working on the parenting prospect how has the quest affected your relationship with your S.O.? How has it defined it? I remember when my 1st child was born I relized that I didn't know a dam thing about the world and at that particular time I thought I knew "everything". I apologized to my mother for all the heartache and crap that I had put her through once I shared this revelation with her!
 
She laughed and cried all in that moment. And the world seemed so new and bigger to me with the birth of O. He taught me what it was to love unconditionally and he brought me joy.
He taught me a little more patience(although I'm still kinda short on that). And he taught me humility!

    Becoming a mother made me much less selfish.  I'm one of those folks who likes to think that it's all about me, and having babies taught me that it most definitely isn't all about me!

    becoming a mother taught me how to face my responsibilities... it taught me to value my life not for me but for those that i love.

    when i was younger i was carefree, i didnt care much of the future, i was living in the present but when i had her that is when i learned how to make sure that the future will be bright for her...

    motherhood is very rewarding... it is the best blessing in the world.

    my mom once wrote to me saying that she did good with me seeing the kind of mother i am... and i cried because at that time i was in doubt if i were making the right decisions in my life.

Watching an adorable 1 year-old baby is quiet amusing. She is trying to figure out where to place a lovely playhouse of her doll. One-year-olds are just starting their forays into friendships....

How Kids Think....
Art is different for kids than it is for adults. It is very important for children to be able to create arts and crafts on their own without copying from an adults model...
It had to happen eventually....
