45/52
eloise: you stroll down the block pushing your baby in the stroller. You hit a bump in the sidewalk and she slumps over in her seat. “Oh no! P.B!” You exclaim. I watch you as you kneel down beside her. “You okay baby? Oh baby. It okay.” You take her out of the seat, give her a hug and settle her back into the stroller. I love watching this empathy in your play develop. Some days I feel as if I’m failing as a mother, but then on days like this, I see, I must be doing some things right.

Failure, no, mistakes now and then, probably, but a friend once asked me “do your kids still talk to you?” (and of course they do).. I thought that was so funny and have passed it on to other moms through the years since then. Lordee, Summer, you’re doing a bang-up job as far as I can see. I tell myself the same thing, I must have done something right as mine all turned out to be wonderful, caring, compassionate people. They don’t come any better.
And what Ellie is doing is mimcking you, right?
Lovely image and words Summer. You are never failing as a mother, there are just days we do better than others. You are doing so much right my friend. xo
You are most definitely doing something right. ❤
That is so sweet! I hope you are off to a great week.
