There are times when this kid is exasperating, stubborn, and totally strong willed.
There are times when i am frustrated and annoyed,
and moments when i am utterly and completely exhausted by him (and his sibling-to-be).
But to see him outside, exploring the world and LOVING every minute of it, is to see with new eyes.
This is what it is to be a mom, to have another chance at firsts.
I always manage to put all of that negativity aside, and no matter how tired, irritated, or overwhelmed I may be,
I can always find it in myself to follow him around the yard, throw rocks in a puddle, blow bubbles,
or teach him how to blow the seeds off a dandelion.
or teach him how to blow the seeds off a dandelion.
Because I know that sooner than i will ever be ready, he's not going to want me to follow him at all...

Love how you describe being a Mum as having another chance at firsts! I've never thought of it like that!
