The article reminded me about how lucky I am to be around my girls watching them growing. Watching miracles in front of my eyes, every single day.
Leaving them both at the daycare for 2 hours every single day aches my heart and I find myself running back to them to pick them up.
The report I get from the babysitter is short, Too short compared to the ones she gives to other parents when they pick up their kids. You see, those parents leave their kids there from 8 am to 6 pm.
I don't want to go into details and I'm judging no one, because I know that a lot of mothers need to work full time jobs for many different reasons. I don't want to be talking about this here. All I want to mention is that I feel blessed and happy when me and Jeeej fight over who discovered this about Selma or that about Mariyah first.
It gets serious sometimes :p
Who discovered the 1st smile. The 1st tooth. The second tooth...the 3rd...it keeps going...
Who heard the first word -which is Baba by the way, no matter how hard you try :(.
Who saw her crawling first and then the 1st step or two...
Yes...Selma is walking now...she takes up to 10 steps at a time and she is our Butter Ball :) The 1st time she walked "perfectly" was on June.14th. But then it was official on the 15th. When I called Jeeej to tease him that I saw her walking first, I knew he was going to get jealous and I heard it his voice. He couldn't wait to get back home from work to see her and then tell me: "It was me who taught her!".
It's fun, it really is :)
It is hard as well. Especially if you have no one to help but your partner. But I can't imagine my life differently. I wouldn't want anyone to steel these precious moments from me.
Today I found this picture. I took it when my mom visited earlier this month.
May Allah bless all mothers and give them the power and the will to give their best to their kids.
