She wants to see everything! Her curiosity continues to need quenching as I create some concoctions on the counter. Then, “Tata taste??” as she smacks her lips. So, I have to give her teeny tiny of whatever I am making. I’m creating a taste tester.
Being the MOMMY, I let her taste and enjoy the savory flavors of new foods, and indulge in learning to create!
Being the MOMMY, while I’m making the food and her patience is waning, wanting MORE, I have to teach her to not only say please, but to wait and enjoy the meal with all of us.
Being the MOMMY, I can see she’s ready to go. However, she does not think she is ready. Tatum has to CHOOSE to go in her way, so, I encourage her to find her shoes. Being the MOMMY, sometimes I have to hurry her along when she is not willing to be hurried. The diaper has to get changed and the stuff needs to get in the car.
Being the MOMMY, I let her be her silly self with choosing silly clothes when home.
Being the MOMMY, I have to “encourage” Tatum has to put on regular clothes to go out in public.
Being the MOMMY, I am teaching her fun ways to learn counting! CHOO CHOO style.
Being the MOMMY, I have to help her to not walk away before we get to 10. Attention span is of a flea.
Finally, Being TATUM’s MOMMY requires lots of love, patience and well, more patience. I am not always getting it right. In fact, I need to walk away sometimes. However, it’s the day to day little things that keep our relationship strong. I adore Being the MOMMY.
