Motherhood (or the mothership as one of my children has me listed on their phone )

Is both a humbling and privileged status .

Watching the 1sts for your child is magical and heartbreaking as they age

Your joy brings back some of mine

My very favourite post so far! Thank you for sharing your adventures in noticing. Our children are our best teachers. When my kids were little, we lived on a farm, and every so often, I would take just one of them for a special city trip - we would move at her pace (not my agenda, like usual) - who else could balance on a curb for hours and be completely absorbed? The city became a brand new place for me. I also resonate with your thoughts about Gaza - heartbreak and horror. Thank you. Sue
