Beautiful journalling and I love your daughter's smile.
Your journalling reminds me of a saying in my husband's family: "You don't know your equal until you raise them." ;)
this is for an all orange challenge with a friend. tfl!
journaling reads: Sometimes I cannot take you. You can be loud and very talkative (now I know how others feel about me). You have even been given a “special” seat in the class because of your mouth. It gets to be a lot at times. I don’t think you’ve realized the importance of “golden silence” yet, but maybe one day you’ll get there. Maybe you’ve just decided you have a lot to say, and do not understand that some things may be better left unsaid. There are times when you have a song in your head that I wish you would keep there, but it always finds a way beyond your lips. I guess I am not really the one who has the right to tell you this. All my life, Nani and Paw-Paw would go to teacher conferences and be told the same thing... I talked too much. Ah the curse of children! Your own faults come back to haunt you. The thing is, as impatient as I get with you, I totally “get it”. I know you are a free spirit and that all of that exuberance will come in handy someday. It’s just hard to deal with at the end of a day when I have spent it with 100 children that talk all day also. So, yes, I get annoyed at times. And I know I am a bad mommy when I blow up, but I really do understand and it is “all good”. Don’t let anyone (not even me) tell you that your talkativeness is wrong. Once we tame it a bit, it will be perfect, because you are perfect and God created you that way for a reason.
