My little princess is quickly becoming more and more independent! I would like to say I am happy about that but I would be lying if I said I didn't miss the newborn stage where she would just curl up in my arms and sleep for hours. Yesterday Brighton got to meet a new family member that was just born and needless to say Brighton was very unimpressed with me holding that new baby. Jealous much?!?! I would say she would be eternally grateful if she was the only child. Her new thing to say on repeat is "what's that?!" She is constantly curious about what is going on around her and wants to do it all. If there is not something she is doing she will find a way to do it! This determined 1 year old is on a mission in this life and I am grateful to watch her get there. Today when we were dancing around the house (a daily thing in this household) we listened to the song "I Lived" By OneRepublic! I loved the words to this song and was inspired by it. It is talking about living life to the fullest without regrets and to give it all you got! What a great message!
Looking back on my life I don't have regrets which I hope many can say the same because no matter what happened in your past, it helped you get to where you are today and hopefully you are happy with that! Life is about learning. It is why we are here and we have many opportunities in life to continue to progress in all we are doing. Being a mother is a constant learning experience- I should say parent but I am thinking as a mother right now. From the day Brighton was born I learned so much. I knew Heavenly Father had just given me the greatest calling and trusted me to be able to help this little girl grow in many ways. I pray that every day I give it my all- even on those hard days when she insists on holding my keys but continues to set the car alarm off. When my patience is running thin I hope that I take a step back and remember that this is just one of those moments and one day I will be wishing to go back to!
Time is precious! I love this quote so much and love the meaning of it right now.
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"
