OUR VILLAGE BABY HAS MADE SUCH A BIG IMPACT ON OUR VOLLEYBALL FAMILY.
THE DAY OUR VILLAGE BABY ARRIVED, HER SUPPORT SYSTEM WAS THERE, SHE MADE US ALL HALT LIFE AND STAY PUT AND WAIT HER ARRIVAL.
TO SEE OUR VILLAGE BABY MATURE AND GROW DAY BY DAY IS SOMETHING TO HAVE BEEN APART OF.
TO SEE OUR VILLAGE BABY EXPRESS HERSELF AND GET HER DEMANDS MADE, QUESTIONS ANSWERED, AND NEEDS MET SHOWS WHO SHE IS EVOLVING INTO ALREADY, ONE WHO GETS WHAT SHE WANTS.
THIS TO ME DIDN’T ARRIVE QUICKLY, IT ARRIVED IN THE MOST TIMELY MANNER, BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
SHE SHOWED US THAT CHEERING WASN’T JUST FOR THE VOLLEYBALL GAMES BUT HER ARRIVAL, HER GROWTH, HER GAINS AND HER SETBACKS TOO.
SHE IS OUR TREASURE.
MILESONE REACHED????
I HATE MILESTONES BECAUSE YOU BEGIN TO START MEASURING.
I HATE MIELSSTONES BECAUSE YOU START SELF SABTOGING YOUR MAJOR TRIUMPS IN THIS NEW CAPACITY.
I HATE MILESTONES BECAUSE YOU START COMPARING YOUR BABY TO OTHERS AND WHAT THEY DO AND DON’T DO LIKE YOUR CHILD IS DEFICIENT WHEN IN REALITY, THEY ARE EXPERIMENTING WITH HOW MUCH CONTROL THEY HAVE OVER WHEN THEY DO WHAT THEY DO AND HOW THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY CAN DO BUT IT IS NEVER BECAUSE THEY CAN OR CAN’T IT IS WHEN THEY CHOOSE……
I HATE MILESTONES BECAUSE YOU START CRITICALLY JUDGING YOUR ROLE AS A MOM INSTEAD OF ENJOYING YOUR ROLE AS A MOM.
I HATE MILESTONES BECAUSE YOU BEGIN TO ANTICIPATE SOMETHING YOUR CHILD ISN’T READY TO EXECUTE.
I HATE MILESTONES BECAUSE YOU TRAIN YOURSELF NOT TO ENJOY THE JOURNEY WITH Y OU AND YOUR CHILD.
THIS BABY STARTED CRAWLING BACKWARDS AND I WAS GEEKED BECASUE I KNEW SHE COULD CRAWL FORWARD, SHE JUST CHOSE NOT TO DO SO.
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE……
IF SHE CAN GO BACKWARDS, CLEARLY SHE COULD GO FORWARD.
IF SHE CAN PULL HERSELF UP IN HER BED, CLEARLY SHE COULD GO FORWARD.
IF SHE CAN HOLD HER SIPPPY AT A TENDER AGE, CLEARLY SHE COULD GO FORWARD.
IT WASN’T THAT SHE COULDN’T DO IT, IT WAS MORESO ON HER OWN TERMS THAT SHE DID IT.
WE WANT THEM TO TURN, SIT UP, HOLD UTENSILS AND JUST GROW UP BECAUSE OUR WORLD SHOULD BE AS USUAL BUT THAT’S NOT TRUE, THIS I HAVE LEARNED.
WE BIRTH OUR CHILDREN READY FOR THEM TO BE INDEPENDENT AND DO THINGS ON THEIR OWN AND WELL, THEY STILL MANAGE TO DO THINGS ON THEIR OWN, IN THEIR OWN TIMING AND MAKE US PAUSE, ALTER, TRANSFORM LIFE AND LIVING……
THE VIDEO I GOT, IT GOT ME OUT OF THE DEEP GRIEF I WAS IN AND I SAT UP IN THE BED AND BEFORE I SAW IT, I KNEW WHAT IT WAS,
I COULD FEEL THAT OUR VILLAGE BABY MADE HISTORY THIS MONTH.
SHE ETCHED IN STONE HER CHOICE TO START CRAWLING THIS MONTH.
THE EXCITEMENT I FELT, THE REALITY OF HER GROWING UP, MOVING FORWARD AND REACHING “MILESTONES” WAS PROOF THAT WE MUST LEARN TO ENJOY THE SMALL ANDÂ MONUMENTAL MOMENTS OF LIFE BECAUSE THEY DON’T AND WON’T LAST LONG.
