All those days spent with a lovely 9 month old. She’s discovering the world. Enjoying every single moment and sucking in everything new.
Will I be showing her things? Can I teach her anything? What more do I actually know than she does? I won’t be able to explain what life is about or why we are here.
Should I tell her about things as I see them? Or should she build her own picture? She will, anyway.
It’s great watching her grow. What she seems to be doing all the time is just having fun. Where did I stop doing that? When in my life all that sense of duty kicked in? When did I start to ‘learn’ instead of ‘playing’ all the time?
She has turned my husband’s laptop screen upside-down which I still don’t know how to do. She can turn on the hi-fi and listen to music. And that seems to really please her.
Lesson from today: stop being a ‘mother’ and start having more fun every day. Laugh at silly things and dance around and sing in the park when nobody is watching. Well, hopefully…
