Do you ever feel like something or someone is speaking right to you? Jennifer Labit’s post on Facebook earlier this week couldn’t have come at a better time. It was just what I needed to hear.
Last night, I was reading Shel Silverstein’s Where the Sidewalk Ends to my 7-year old at bedtime. I think the poems are largely weird, with a few exceptions (sorry to fans) but when I got to “Listen to the Mustn’ts,” it stopped me in my tracks. I’ve heard it many times before, but this night, when we chose that book after passing up several others, and by chance, happened to read that particular page, I had a hard time reading it. Postpartum hormones still? Maybe.
As adults, we need to remember this. We need to remind our children often, yes, but also ourselves.
Anything can happen. Anything can be.
Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgement. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air.
