Isn't it funny what makes us proud as mothers? Or more generically speaking, as parents?! I used to take pride in getting a good job, accomplishing a goal that I had dreamed of for a while, and so on. Nowadays? I find myself feeling so proud of the smallest things that Abigail does. Whether it's going potty, saying a new word or expression, or watching her help me clean up a spill...I am filled with joy and pride. Today, it was watching her focus on trying to draw pictures while we were getting our taxes done.
I have never seen her so focused on something. She was "checking" off the boxes on the checklist, then "drew" a picture of Charlie (our dog) along with J.D. and Maddie (my parents dogs). She was so proud to show me her scribbles, which in turn made me so proud of her. I love watching her imagination grow, along with her focus. She amazes me more every day and I'm so proud to be her mommy.
