I remember coming out of a bathroom in an local arboretum with my 4 and 1 year old when an older lady smiled broadly at us and said how lovely my daughters were. She wished for me that I would have a moment to enjoy them. Ahhh, so did I. And, so I wish for all the young Moms I know.
I wish them:
- a solid night’s sleep. Yes, 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
- One whole day without a huge mess to clean up on the kitchen floor.
- no vomit, leaky diaper or need to change themselves or everyone else for 24 hours.
- no meltdowns by a toddler terrorist.
- And a huge plate of chocolate oatmeal pancakes or whatever makes them happy on Mother’s Day.
And, to all the other folks who are raising kids – their own or someone else’s, thank you, too. May you have a moment to enjoy what you have today.
