She is into everything making a mess and can't sit still for anything! I sometimes wonder why I even try and dress her. I'm sure she would be just as happy running around terrorizing our tiny apartment just the same!
Sometimes I wonder if motherhood is going to be the thing that breaks me. Like one day I am just going to go insane! I feel as if God only gave me so much patience and my daughter pushes that limit often! But then there are times when I'm reminded that motherhood was not supposed to be easy. I am not going to look put together everyday, I am not going to do every important thing others say "I just have to do" or I must be parenting wrong, and there will be days like today where I need to put my baby in the crib with toys and lock myself in the bathroom and watch some cheesy TV show!
But I am always reminded in those moments too, that I have a beautiful daughter who brings my soul so much happiness! It doesn't cover the fact I think I might go insane at least once a day but it makes me so happy I have a little one to chase after! Motherhood, I'm sure, doesn't look perfect on me but it brings me so much joy even on the bad days!
You won't go insane, you'll just stretch! Over and over and over and over again until you die! This will be a stretching point. Make the low drawers things that you don't care if she gets into and seriously child lock the things that are dangerous to her. Lauren and Jacob both emptied 100 ziploc sandwich bags onto the floor one at a time more than once. But that was better than them getting into the knives. Remember, you are just being stretched!
