Change is not a word that comes easily to most people. And in some it strikes fear to their very core.
I thought I was good with change.
Until a 4 month old taught me the true meaning of change. As in every day. No two days look alike. She grabs her toes and squirms around in her crib. She eats at different times and sleeps through the night (hurray!). She grows out of new clothes (and diapers) all the time. She loves to sit up and look around and take in the world. She sucks her thumb and pulls out her pacifier (hurray again!).
Her cheeks are rounder and her thighs are ticklish. She responds to touch. She knows what her bottle is and is on the verge of pulling out of my hands.
And she's only 4 months old. The changes are coming quick now and I have to be on my toes.
Some women I know say "I'm so fluid - I mold to anything you put me in." Probably my most important lesson in being a mom. Things always change. Just when you think you have it figured out, she's on to something else.
Thank you, Annabelle.
