Our little helper

I'm on a growth curve as a mom trying to figure out how to incorperate my little girl into all that I do ( so as to avoid the whining, pant leg pulling, do something to get mommy's attention little act that is like fingernails on a chalkboard)


I am amazed, really, that my 18-month-old is a little woman in the making. I am shaping her view of life. My attitude will become hers. Am I impatient, frustrated, grouchy? Can I expect any better from her? I must overcome in my attitude if I am calling her to overcome in hers.......... Yeah, easier said than done somedays. But we are talking about life. God make me more like YOU.







So on this journey daily I am beginning to slow down, take time, look for ways to bring my girl into my life as a Homemaker, instead of trying to quickly do everything while she is asleep, or try to distract her so I can get some household things done.



She loves to help Mama, and with a little effort, I am discovering the joy of having a friend and little helper all day. She is learning she is needed as part of our family. Her help with 'cleaning', 'cooking' ( taking care of her babies) all blesses her Mama and Daddy.

Eiley is sooo much more cheerful, and so am I. I still have much to learn, but the shaping of a soul is not taken on with haphazard neglect. I am a commited student in this course called 'mothering' for the rest of my life.
