Today was a nice day. I had an enjoyable workout at the gym and everywhere I turned, people were telling me what I beautiful little girl I had. Whose heart doesn't feel proud when they hear things like that?! Ellie has been testing her limits and pushing her individuality pretty hard the past couple of days. I know I've been getting a little more lax in certain decisions and she's showing me! I've said before that she is the best teacher I could ever ask for. Being a mother isn't something that gets any easier. It isn't something that just clicks. It seems to be constantly evolving and developing. As my child grows, I need to change my own behaviors and rules to match and/or counter certain personality traits. Motherhood needs to be taken one day at a time and even as I say this, I know this is going to be something I'm going to have to work on constantly. I need to keep telling myself that I'm not perfect and that all the little challenges put in front of me are just obstacles to move around. I am grateful to be able to know that I have to be honest with myself, and even that is a work in progress.
"Practice doesn't lead to perfection, it leads to permanence."
Good night.
