Day 20:
Watching this boy in these bumper boats yesterday was absolutely thrilling as a mother. He was in a boat, nothing holding him back, no ropes, brakes or ties. He was experiencing pure independence. He has been trying to show me (mostly through tantrums) lately that he no longer needs me to hold his hand anymore through life. I am still going to hold his hand, but will probably let him run ahead a little bit once and a while. What an amazing privilege it is to be able to love, discipline, teach, adore and cherish these little ones. I am so blessed.
