A friend came over today and we were looking back at old photos of her twin babies..... and it was really special to remember how tiny and fragile our children are when they come into the world. So reliant on us for everything they need. So unknowing of what adventures they will experience in their lives. So precious.
I think sometimes as mums it's good to look back at where our kids came from and who we thought they were when they first entered this world - makes the day-to-day strains of fighting about food, toys, getting dressed, baths, etc seem to trivial.
When really, as long as we're loving, caring, feeding, and nurturing our kids they really will grow up every day and become the wonderful people they are supposed to be.
We may help them grow, learn, love, but we can't control it for them. In the end they must learn to grown on their own - and maybe oneday hold a precious newborn in their own arms and think "what will this life hold?"
