The Teacher

I lost my cool with Callie this morning. 
It definitely was not one of my finer moments and I sat in the car after drop off and cried. 
I know being a parent would be challenging especially with all the hurdles our family faces. 
I knew that being a mom I would learn new things, learn about life and learn about kids. 
But I had no idea how much being a mama would teach me about myself. 
About patience and grace. 
About how I love. 
About how I forgive, especially myself.
About how I handle stress and obstacles. 
About how I handle the little things and the big things. 
Luckily, my kid is amazing and will have forgiven me by the time I walk into her classroom today to pick her up. 
I’m so thankful to her for all of these life lessons she’s teaching me and will continue to teach me as we get older. 
My sweet Bear, Mama always thought I would be the one teaching you about life…..but in reality, it’s you teaching me.
