Recently I was with a group of women, and we were asked to go around and tell something interesting about ourselves. Being last, I had time to think. Hmmm. Interesting about me?
Well, the most interesting thing about me is how I’m learning how to be Tatum’s mom. It used to be I’d walk in a room and people would notice say, “Hi Steph!” Now, I’m just a shadow, because this amazing little wonder derives all of the energy and focus onto her. (no complaint here!)
Her fascination with hanging or jumping is a strive to become taller and bigger. Her “no fear” attitude continues to inspire me. Honestly, I want to continue to remind her how brave she is and how much she can conquer!! (with God’s loving Hands holding her of course)
I also want to help her “stay in the sandbox,” BUT also be able to experience new ventures with new friends and new experiences. Her boldness in being so outgoing, talkative and friendly can be so powerful, and just needs to be channeled in a positive direction.
So, interesting? Yes, I’m fascinating WITH this wonderful ball of energy and fun.
