My children are my daily mirror. If I want to know about life, my attitude and my habits, all I have to do is look at them, see what they are doing and what they are interested in to know what I have been busy focusing on.
So this week, I am trying to look in the mirror of their eyes more.
But first, I have to share this..
I can't believe that my baby is about to complete kindergarten.
I love her drawing of herself!
And because I know that I will blink and she will be ready to graduate from high school, I am trying to document some of her little girl moments!
I love that she loves writing stories and reading.
Moving on..
People ask why I do challenges, I do them because:
- it keeps me accountable to complete the task
- it makes me try new things
- it makes me try HARD things
And teaching my girls to complete hard things is one of my jobs as a mom.
So with this handstand challenge and healthy eating, there are days when I don't want to continue the journey. Some days I want to sit on the couch and eat potato chips. But you know what, my girls are great at reminding me to get up and get going.
Lexi is eating salads with me and is my official handstand photographer. Kylie is working hard on handstands too.
So even though the other night I had tons of chest congestion and a bad headache, legitimate reasons to take a day off the handstand, you know what? I did that stupid handstand. And Kylie sat there and watched me, and afterward, I felt like I had accomplished something!
Cause look at my girls.
They will follow my lead, whichever path I take them on.
And this is last night.
I'm getting stronger.
And relishing in a few moments with my baby girl who likes to draw butterflies on her face.
