Today is the first time that I am branching out and sharing my thoughts. Two days ago I witnessed something incredible. I had the chance of seeing my eleven month old son figure out what stairs were.
He had only a few times encountered the stairs but this time was different, he was determined and had two of his biggest cheerleaders cheering him on. So with the determination to make it to the top of the stairs, he was not sure at first, but with a little push and help from me his mom. He started his trek up the steep stairs.
At first he was slow but the second and third time around he had them down like it was a second nature to him. He has many more things that I will be able to help him with. Such as him walking, he is almost there. He just needs to build up his confidence a little bit, because he is trying to take steps from the couch a lot and I could not be more proud of him.
It is not all happy and joyous every second of the day. There are times where he can be a little hard to take care of, but the smile he gives makes the days he is hard to handle all the more worth it. Sometimes I feel as though I am doing a horrible job at parenting him and I am failing miserably, but then I see him learn something as simple as crawling up the stairs and I know that I am not failing.
This is 100% my first go around at being a parent, I have seen what not to do at raising children and I am still learning the right way to this whole parenting thing. I know that if I put my trust and faith in my savior Jesus Christ, then I can do things the right way.
I know that no one person is perfect and I understand that we all fail at times, but it is in those times that we fail that we see our character and we see how far we can go. Jesus was the only person who was ultimately Perfect in everyway.
We are born sinful, you can see it in the way a child defies their parent. Whether it is getting clothes on to go to bed, to not wanting to eat what was made for dinner. Sin is in our DNA and the only way we can break free from the chains of sin is through Jesus Christ and through our faith in God and Jesus.
Ultimately, the best thing I have come to notice about parenting is the smile of your child and how happy they get when you play with them or just spend time with them. Sometimes you have to take a break though, even if you do not want to you need to, because if you do not then you could end up hurting your child and you would feel horrible about it.
So to wrap up my very first blog, I know it is all over the place but oh well. I am pleased with how my thoughts can out, Thanks for reading.
