Winston is a little busy body lately
getting himself into lots of trouble. Last week, he decided to let go of
the rocking chair and ended up busting his lip against the ottoman. It happened
all so fast. I was so shocked that he was trying to walk that I completely
missed him on his way down. It was more a tiny cut but the blood had me
traumatized. The next day, I quickly ran to the kitchen to grab something and
heard a gag. Winston found a penny {that I was sure I picked up}. I was
screaming and doing my CPR. After what felt like forever, I was balling my eyes
out crying and finally, Winston puked it up. I was so scared. The next day after
that, he smashed a vase. Holy Smokes! Thank goodness the vase completely missed
him on the way down, but seriously people. I feel so inadequate as a mother
sometimes and feel that I am not doing enough to protect him. I do not want to
shelter forever though and that is the part I am still learning.
I feel like I am starting to grasp
what it means to be a parent and what it means to have a loving heavenly
father. He has established a plan for us to learn here on the earth. I want
Winston to experience life and I don't want him to get hurt because he is my
baby boy. I don't want any scars on him or any bumps but I know it is necessary
for us because in the end it makes us who we need to be. As much as it hurts to
see my baby get hurt, I know I have to provide the necessary teachings and
instructions to show him how it works. Obviously, he is a little baby right now
but I feel like everyday I am getting more prepared for the next day.
Parenthood changes everyday and then my learning curve starts again. ha!
We are learning to make family
traditions and routine. I am learning to put my trust in not only heavenly
father but also my Husbuddy, Winston and myself, as a mother and wife. We have
big decisions ahead of us but that makes me more excited for life.
After the 3 days of
straight-up accidents we decided to get out and enjoy life because life is to
be enjoyed and that is exactly what we will do.
