This year I want to give her all of my time that she wants. She is a very independent little girl (I wonder who she got that from) and she likes to do so much on her own. I know she will only rely on me less as she continues to grow so I want to be here for her as much as I can. She is also the most determined baby I've ever seen. If she wants to do something she will try her absolute hardest, fall down and get up over and over until she finally does it. I love the little girl she is becoming.
This year I will take more time to read to her. I will help her walk until she does it on her own. I will teach her signs and words and how to swim. I will practice patience, contentment and serenity, I will dance and sing loud, I will be more like the person I want her to be so she can learn by example. I will give her my time and all of my heart.
This warms my heart! What a perfect way to make time count. My little one also turns 1 soon, and I too want to live more in the moment with her.
ReplyDeleteOne way that works with helping me be less selfish is choosing a night that we make all about her. Little things -- from grabbing a fruit pouch for her at Target, to letting her get into all the things she always wants too :)
That is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't this first year fly by? I am trying to slow down and enjoy every second!
