Little hints of maturity abound onto Tatum every single day. They are not about her being able to write her numbers more neatly
Or her ability to organize her shoes (which she did out of pure delight without asking)
No, they are glimpses into her heart.
You see, we chat A LOT about what it’s like to have responsibilities or to exude kindness, or to be a light in a tough world. It is not just theory for us; we live it. (Well, we try). I show my humanness to her often as I probably apologize daily for an oops on my part. I’m very transparent with her in my parenting; (I don’t mean in the what’s of parenting, but in the “why’s”…why I make certain decisions or why I don’t back down on vital issues. )
I want her to see my heart.
Well this is when I see fruit; she wants to do chores because she WANTS responsibilities. She WANTS to do right and please.
Just last night she cleaned her room just for fun.
It is pure joy to watch her! Today, I had to take a second look to see how much she has grown. I love you Tatum Isabella Knight!
