But on the other hand, I've learned that kids don't care if you spent hours making a fancy birthday cake or just bought one from the bakery. =)Handsfullmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080603359227234634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609282280392473699.post-13831905947398907542013-05-02T19:07:45.168-07:002013-05-02T19:07:45.168-07:00Thank you for the fun, inciteful read.

I was just thinking something similar to this in sacrament meeting today as I remembered my oldest child at 2 knowing who Joseph Smith was by recognition, reading the Book of Mormon to him every day, teaching him so much more than I feel I am teaching my younger ones. I feel like I am pulled in so many different directions, and I don't take the time to be the same kind of mother that the older ones had. (In some cases that is a really good thing - I have learned a thing or two as well as just being a "leftover mom".) Anyway,thank you for echoing my feelings and giving me hope that my children can still learn from me and that I still have valuable things to contribute to their lives, even if other parts of my life are in chaos!

When I got to "the teeth that will need cavities filled cause I didn't floss my kids well enough" I literally laughed out loud...I had the exact chew out session with myself last night! We truly are kindred spirits, and as a fellow leftover mom, I consider myself in good company. You are amazing! You are fun! And because of all of that plus a little bit more, you're the kind of mom I keep reminding myself to try to be more like. Love your wonderful guts!!!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493563996835228357noreply@blogger.com
