One Word Capture: week 3

Discovering my Kids!

Those of us that are Mother's realize and see our kids grow and change every single day. My Abby is going to be 7 years old this February. Josiah is 2.5 and Elliana just turned 1 in November! Everyday I see my kids discovering new things. Ellie has been trying to jump with both feet off the floor, I have also been teaching her facial features.  Josiah, I have discovered, LOVES art. He loves to color and paint. He loves to play with play dough or blocks. I know a lot of 2 years old love these things, but with Josiah he is particular about how he holds his crayon. He WANTS to hold it the correct way and if he can't get it he will ask me for help. He loves to follow instructions. At the same time he is really trying to come into his own little person. He is trying to take control in what kind of food he wants to eat, or which movie he wants to watch. He is discovering that sometimes he will get his way, but Mommy always gets her way!  Then there is my Abby, yes I know they are all mine, but Abby will always be my first child. She will always be the first to go through things with "new parents." Abby is discovering all sorts of things. She has discovered a love for math and science. She has discovered that it is easier and best to just say sorry and to quickly change her attitude rather than having mom change it for her!

I am discovering that if I want to know who I am as a mother I need to ask HER, so here it goes!
