When my little human is trying to get one over on me, I rely on a slightly creepy line to get the upper hand.
91裸聊视频淚 know what you91裸聊视频檙e doing, baby,91裸聊视频� I say. 91裸聊视频淚 know and see everything. You used to live in me. It91裸聊视频檚 part of the deal.91裸聊视频�
At that point he fesses up and expresses wonder at my omniscience.
He91裸聊视频檚 a pretty smart kid, so I should have suspected he91裸聊视频檇 adapt.
When he91裸聊视频檚 trying to give me guff, he now says 91裸聊视频淚 know (add whatever grounds for battle four-year-olds find here), mummy. I used to live in you. I know everything.91裸聊视频�
This familial trait to boast all-knowingness even occurs when discussing memories made before he arrived.
91裸聊视频淭hat was when I was an egg, so I was there, too,91裸聊视频� he91裸聊视频檚 said about everything from an apartment I once lived in to trips to far off locales I91裸聊视频檝e made, blissfully unaware I was less solo than I thought.
There91裸聊视频檚 something comforting about him wanting to have seen every moment of my world with me. But I wonder how much of who I am today that he91裸聊视频檒l really know or see as he gets older. Also what parts of who I am will recede or expand as time marches on.
Motherhood, by necessity, changes us.
There91裸聊视频檚 one picture of my own mother from the days before my memory starts that always captures my imagination.
She91裸聊视频檚 young and confident, free from the shackles of the family she took on early and the hair-calming products she dearly needed. She was unmarked by the triumph and failures that followed and the wrinkles that now form in different sectors of her face depending on displeasure or happiness.
The woman in this faded old photo is and isn91裸聊视频檛 my mom in equal measure and that is neither good or bad.
But the dichotomy between mum and woman seems all the more interesting now that I have my own little human.
There91裸聊视频檚 a strong desire to turn myself inside out for my little know-it-all91裸聊视频攖o make sure he understands me and I understand him as he starts to get his bearings in his own world. At the same time, I want to maintain whatever it is that is unique to me, which is completely at odds with being turned inside out.
Motherhood is a beautiful head-wrecker, an adventure that only four years in I91裸聊视频檝e come to realize can91裸聊视频檛 be mapped out or summed up in one Hallmark card occasion, like we91裸聊视频檙e getting this weekend.
So, while there91裸聊视频檚 nothing wrong in a little forced adulation, I just want to say91裸聊视频 know what you91裸聊视频檙e doing moms. And even on days when it seems like it91裸聊视频檚 not going that well, it91裸聊视频檚 pretty amazing.
Happy Mother91裸聊视频檚 Day.
