(Picture of my little helper)

Motherhood is beautiful…..and hard. Today started with a full glass of water spilled all over the floor right as we were heading out the door. My 1.5-year-old son knocked it over (my bad for leaving it too close to the edge), and then… used my sweatshirt to clean it up. The one I was planning to wear.

Was I on the verge of losing it? Absolutely.
But then I paused.

He said “uh oh.” He recognized the mistake. He tried to fix it the only way his little toddler brain could. That’s awareness. That’s initiative. That’s growth.

I have more sweatshirts. I have towels. And most importantly, I have him. My perfect, curious, sponge-of-a-son.

Today, I’m counting that as a win.

What little “uh oh” moment turned into an “ah ha” for you this week? What are you thankful for this Thursday?
